Philippine Airlines (PAL) has agreed to another year of partnership with the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) promoting travel to the island nation.
“The Philippine Airlines is thrilled to once again partner with Singapore. Its dynamic culture has inspired the travels of countless Filipinos across our years of operations,” Capt. Stanley Ng, PAL president and chief operating officer, said.
“Building on our shared success, we look forward to working together to create more opportunities for more Filipinos to experience how Singapore continues to be a world-class leisure destination,” he added.
Melissa Ow, chief executive at STB, acknowledged the Philippines is one of Singapore’s key markets that has recovered strongly with the support of long standing partners like the Philippine Airlines.
“They have been instrumental in reinforcing Singapore’s position as a vibrant lifestyle destination, where ordinary moments are transformed into extraordinary experiences. We are excited to bring our partnership with Philippine Airlines to the next level, and to welcome more Filipino travelers to Singapore soon,” she said
In 2023, the Philippines ranked as Singapore’s 6th largest source of tourism receipts, with nearly 700,000 visitor arrivals, marking an 84 percent recovery to 2019 visitor arrival numbers.
As at end-June 2024, Singapore has welcomed close to 390,000 Filipino visitors. New attractions and experiences await travelers to Singapore, officials said.
PAL, the country’s only full-service legacy carrier, flies to 40 international and 32 domestic destinations.
