NATAS Holidays 2018 encouraged visitors to explore new destinations and experiences.
Stage performances throughout the weekend provided information on emerging destinations such as Uzbekistan and Tanzania. A wide range of travel deals and tour packages were up for grabs.
The NATAS Grand Draw was also back, with the top prize of a pair of Premium Economy Class tickets on Singapore Airlines to Los Angeles, New York or San Francisco.
Opening the show, Steven Ler, president of NATAS, touched on Singaporeans’ ‘unwavering zest for travelling’.
“It is heartening to see such great enthusiasm from the travelling public who continue to support and find value in NATAS travel fairs, echoing NATAS’ lasting relevance to Singaporean travellers. It is also a testimony to the confidence in the NATAS brand from our exhibitors,” Ler added.
Data collected from the NATAS Grand Draw survey revealed that the top 10 destinations were Europe, Japan, Malaysia, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Australia, United States and Egypt.
The 2019 NATAS travel fair will be held at Singapore EXPO.
