From TTG Asia:

Multigenerational families who travel to Southeast Asia are observed to have evolving preferences in their holiday trips, said travel specialists at the Asean Tourism Forum (ATF) 2020.

When in the past, family groups from the western markets tend to favour separate activities for the young and elderly members, families are now seen to prioritise experiences that can be enjoyed together.

Cruises, safari tours and theme parks are on the top of these travellers’ list, and Zaki named Singapore, together with Bangkok and Malaysia are the destinations with the richest multigenerational family offerings, according to Mohammad Zaki, president of US-based RZ Travels.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
