There were cheers and delight at The Travel Corporation’s (TTC) office just around two weeks ago, which was a rare sight for tour agencies in the past 18 months with the travel sector going for a complete stopin the midst of border and travel restrictions around the world for containing the spread of the COVID-19 virus.


The Singapore authorities have announced that the city-state would be setting up vaccinated travel lanes for fully vaccinated travelers from Germany and Brunei.


Mr. Nicholas Lim, chief executive officer of TTC’s Asia office, said that they immediately saw an increase in enquiries after the announcement was made, which brought in two bookings to Germany that weekend.


“It was to our surprise as well … (Tour bookings) is something which hasn’t happened in a while. We were doing high-fives and all,” said Mr. Lim.


Another company, Dynasty Travel, has developed new tour packages to Germany focusing on in-depth exploration of the European country, compared to multi-country tour packages that were popular before the pandemic, said Ms. Alicia Seah, the company’s director of marketing communications.


Ms.Seah said that the tour agency witnessed more than 30 enquiries, 60 per cent of which have been converted into bookings.


Both tour companies are also opening up their retail offices, after months of closure,anticipating an uptick in demand.
