Singapore Airlines Limited (SGX: C6L) welcomed close to three million passengers on its flights in August, up 43.5% year on year.
Back in April, Singapore saw tourist arrivals surpass the one million mark for two straight months and set a post-pandemic record.
Another beneficiary of this travel boom is the hospitality trust sector.
With more tourists flocking to Singapore and the region, these trusts are also enjoying a breath of fresh air after enduring nearly three years of hardship.
