Singapore tourism bubble.

January 29, 2022

    Singapore's "tourist bubble" could take over Thailand, South Korea and Japan in the near future. But any decision is likely to depend on the effectiveness of these countries' COVID-19 control, rather than the pursuit of tourism revenue, tourism experts say.

Travel bubble


    Travel bubble between Singapore and Hong Kong The air travel bubble between Singapore and Hong Kong will begin on November 22. There is one flight to both cities with 200 passengers one way. From December 7, two flights will start flying.
    Travelers must have tested negative for COVID-19. There will be no restrictions on the purpose of the trip. There will be no movement control, quarantine or other notifications. Two key factors for the Singapore-Hong Kong "travel bubble" were effective control of the virus and the ability to successfully negotiate.
    “Travelers will have to get used to the new rules and swabs for COVID-19. All of this is part and parcel of the new normal.
    ”Who's next? Countries that currently have a "green corridor" with Singapore for important business and official trips can count on participating in a tourist exchange. These include South Korea, Japan and China. Singapore received visitors from these countries, which made it possible to assess the intensity of infection there, as well as the effectiveness of the authorities' fight against infections. This experience will help you make an informed decision about including these countries on your travel list.

    While the demand for travel is definitely there, experts noted that many are still on the fence, given the widespread nature of the pandemic.While the desire to travel persists, the cost of flying abroad can also dampen demand. Today, not only air tickets have risen in price. When planning a trip, you should take into account the considerable cost of all the necessary tests for COVID-19. But still there is a demand for foreign trips. Many people really need to run away from home, but they just don't know where to go. They have nowhere to go.

Batam: a place where business meets leisure

January 29, 2022
    Looking from the tall towers of Singapore across the straits of Indonesian territorial waters, you will see the two islands of Batam (Batam) and Bintan (Bintan), belonging to the province of Riau. Located close to Singapore as well as Johor Bahru (Malaysia), the islands offer a completely different atmosphere compared to the environment of a busy city, and therefore, have long become a favorite vacation spot for residents and tourists from neighboring countries.

    Batam Island is today Indonesia's third busiest port of entry after Jakarta and Bali. In recent years, the island has become a popular destination for tourists not only from Singapore and Malaysia, but also from other countries in Asia and Europe, who come to the island to play on first-class golf courses, amazing sailing trips, duty-free shopping, rejuvenating and revitalizing SPA treatments, relaxing beach holidays, mouth-watering fresh seafood dishes or for other tourist pleasures.
    Batam is an ideal place for business events and meetings. It also has the Sumatra Convention Center (SCC), which has a 1,064-seat equipped hall with a fixed stage and an outdoor area that can accommodate up to 15,000 people. Thanks to its marina, Batam has recently become a springboard for yacht tourism in the enchanting tropical islands of Indonesia.
    The famous object of pride, which visitors to the island should definitely see, is the Barelang Bridge. Located about 35 km from downtown Batam, the bridge connects the island to several smaller islands to its south: Taunton, Nipah, Sekotok, Rempang, Galang and Galang Baru (which are collectively known as the Barelang Bridge Islands). The bridge itself is a chain of six bridges and connecting roads, which together stretch for 715 km.

How to get there

     On a ferryboat: Regular daily comfortable ferries connect the Singapore port of Tanah Merah and the Malaysian port of Johor Bahru to Batam.

Big expectations: how tourists see travel in 2022

January 26, 2022


What will travel look like in 2022? It is becoming more and more difficult to predict on the topic of travel, because the rules and safety requirements are constantly changing, there are new inputs for planning trips. Kayak.com, the largest accommodation Kayak platform, conducted a survey among travelers and shared the results of the largest study, which included more than 24 thousand travelers from 31 countries. Users of the platform talked about what kind of travel they dream of next year, how they accept the new reality and what they expect in an era of uncertainty.
    Balance between work and leisure With the advent of the pandemic, homes around the world have turned into offices, and remote work has become the new normal of our lives. Many office workers in 2020-2021 have the opportunity to combine work and travel. On the one hand, you can afford to travel more without interrupting work. On the other hand, you can’t really immerse yourself in getting to know new places, culture, and in the end, it’s okay to relax.
    Many are simply tired of this type of travel, when you think about work all the time. That is why 73% of those surveyed said that they would not do business while traveling next year. In 2022, remote workers want to restore a healthy work-life balance. Stop combining work and travel, don’t take your computer on vacation, turn off notifications about messages in instant messengers — separate work and work so as not to burn out, thinking about work processes all the time.
    Many of us view the trip to a vacation destination as a necessary necessity, rather than a source of pleasure and joy. But since we have traveled so little over the past year and a half, by 2022 we managed to miss even being on the road. For 75% of travelers surveyed, getting to their destination can be much more enjoyable if it is seen as part of the journey. At the same time, travelers are happy not only to travel by train and plane - 55% of respondents said that they are no less interested in getting to know the features of public transport in other countries and cities. After a long forced break, even the most mundane things will seem new.
    Travel as medicine and self-care In 2022, travel will be the trendiest way to take care of yourself. At least, this is what 79% of respondents think, who noted that travel has a more beneficial effect on their mental and emotional state than yoga and meditation. The reason for this is the forced confinement in apartments and houses during the pandemic, the daily hustle and bustle that has been sucked into the closed space where people work, raise children, shop online and even play sports. Many began to appreciate the opportunity to break away from the routine even more.
    Travel takes us out of a state of nervous stress. They are like a breath of fresh air - they give you the opportunity to see new things, hear new languages ​​and taste new cuisines. When traveling, travelers want to fully immerse themselves in another culture and feel the spirit of a new place. New and vivid emotions affect the body no worse than vitamins - they will become a new type of care for your mental and physical health next year. Go where you never expected to go, try new dishes - you will have unforgettable experiences that will help you feel the joy of life.
    Catch up in 2022 As at the beginning of 2021, next year travel will be affected by the so-called pent-up demand. Everyone who, one way or another, wanted, but could not realize their desires to go on vacation to another country, will try to do it at the moment when the pandemic recedes and the borders open as much as possible without any special requirements for travelers. The percentage of those who wish to use the accumulated vacation days increased from 42% to 63%.
    Ready for change: technology to help Uncertainty has become a constant companion of our lives. Change is happening daily. We just got used to the fact that at any moment everything can change: a lockdown will be announced, a certificate of vaccination in theaters and cafes will be required, borders may be closed due to a new strain of the virus, and a long-awaited trip will fail. 2021 has taught us not to plan too far ahead, but it hasn't discouraged us from traveling.
    In 2022, travelers are counting on tackling this uncertainty with technology. According to the study, 63% of respondents believe that modern technology helps to reduce health risks while traveling, and 62% believe that technology helps to reduce anxiety when traveling. To do this, new applications are appearing, in which information on the requirements of countries for crossing borders is updated daily.

The country is lifting the requirement that everyone who entered the country was required to test negative for COVID-19, regardless of vaccination status. Holidays in Turkey in 2022 will be cheaper than in 2021. And all because the Turkish lira "collapsed".



How tourists are deceived in Turkey and Egypt

During holidays in Turkey and Egypt, tourists often fall into the tricks of guides. It can be “tempting” excursions, trips and so on. However, they can be avoided if you follow the basic rules.Tempting offers According to one tourist, when they arrive at the resort, they are informed of an allegedly mandatory meeting with a hotel guide. However, you can not go there, because tourists are lured there for additional excursions. Usually the guides have a portfolio with offers, and he announces the price himself. When vacationers agree, they pay money immediately. However, in fact, it remains a mystery how much the offer costs and how much the guide “earned” thanks to you.

Excursions There are several tour options. For example, the guide offers a boat or hammam tour and charges money for just taking you there. However, sometimes you can look at the maps where they are located and go yourself for free. There are also free tours, but they remain only conditionally. The fact is that tourists are taken to shops and shopping centers. And there you can leave a lot of money instead of just relaxing by the sea.

In addition, they offer large excursions, for example, to Istanbul, for which two days are sometimes allocated. However, given the travel time, tourists will not be able to see the city enough. In addition, for such excursions you need to pay a large amount of money. It is known that in some cities during the tour they are asked to pay extra money for breakfast, which was allegedly included in the price, or they offer some entertainment at a much higher price.

At the same time, the tourist said that it is possible to book excursions that take a maximum of two hours to travel, in particular to ancient cities. Other trips should be rescheduled, because for two days you pay extra money, and those that you paid for the rest at the hotel and by the sea will not be returned to you and these days will “burn out”.

As soon as we learned that Montenegro is reopening its cities, national parks and beaches for Ukrainians, we tasted freedom and began to plan a vacation. We tell you what you need to see in Montenegro when you go on vacation. It is the smallest of Montenegro's four national parks, home to one of Europe's three remaining virgin forests. "Biogradska Gora" is a living example of developed ecosystems, which did not reach the human hand. The small park is home to 150 species of birds, ten species of mammals, 86 species of trees and nine glacial lakes.

Ostroh monastery

Most of the monastery is built in a steep cliff, so Ostrog is considered an architectural wonder not only of Montenegro but also of the world. Built in the XVII century, the monastery preserves the remains of St. Basil of Ostroh, and the monastery is the most important place of pilgrimage in Montenegro.

Durmitor National Park
    Durmitor National Park is well known for its canyon, where the Tara River roars. The canyon is famous for the deepest gorges in Europe, which were formed thousands of years ago due to the movement of glaciers. In winter there is a large ski resort, and in summer - a popular place for hiking and rafting. Durmitor is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the park is home to the largest number of butterflies on the continent.

Tivat
    The former Austro-Hungarian (and later Yugoslav) naval base in the coastal city of Tivat was once an obscure spot on the country's coast, but in 2009 the area was rebuilt for $ 480 million. Today, Tivat is somewhat reminiscent of Monaco: go for a cruise on a yacht and walk the gorgeous promenades.
