Roslan Rahman, AFP MANILA - Nearly 700,000 Filipino tourists traveled to Singapore in 2023, making the Philippines the sixth largest market for Singapore tourism, the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) said on Tuesday.This translates to 84 percent of tourist arrivals from the Philippines in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic.To increase tourist arrivals from the country, the STB inked a memorandum of understanding with Philippine Airlines on Monday. STB Executive Director for Southeast Asia Terrence Voon expects the partnership to further boost Singapore&rsquo;s tourism as it hopes to reach pre-pandemic level of arrivals.For the first half of 2024, around 390,000 Filipino tourists have traveled to city state and with the partnership, Voon said they aim to attract multi-generational tourists.&ldquo;We hope to drive visitor arrivals and tourism spend so that will be a major part of it. One of the new things that we&rsquo;re looking at to help us reach out on this will be multi-generational travel. We know that Philippines love traveling as a family and we love families traveling to Singapore as well,&rdquo; Voon said.STB is banking on upcoming family-friendly experiences such as theme parks, the oceanarium, and a cruise line to attract returning tourists as well.Voon recognized increase in Filipino tourist arrivals during in the Singapore leg of The Eras Tour of American pop singer Taylor Swift.To keep the momentum, the tourism board is looking to offer deals for airfares bundled with experiences across Singapore.&ldquo;There was an increase in the number of visitor arrivals form the Philippines, obviously in the first half of the year that we can thank the concert series for that as well. So obviously, there has been great impact in terms of hotel spending, on food and beverage, as well as retail but that&rsquo;s just concerts. One key part of our strategy in the Philippines is actually to market Singapore to the Philippines. We hope to continue to promote live entertainment, musicals as well which are very family-friendly too. These will be the things that we will try to make sure that there&rsquo;s always something new that&rsquo;s happening in Singapore when you visit,&rdquo; Voon said.Philippine Airlines President and Chief Operating Officer Captain Stanley Ng said the partnership will include seat sales to Singapore as well as exclusive deals in Singapore for passengers of PAL.&ldquo;This collaboration is about building connections and fostering a deeper understanding between our cultures,&rdquo; Ng said.In the sidelines of the event, Ng told reporters that PAL expects travel demand to pick up towards the end of the year as the holiday season approaches.
