POST-PANDEMIC, Singaporean travellers are expecting more even from package tours, with travel agencies offering longer, more luxurious and specialised trips to meet this demand.

Sehar Mir, marketing and communications manager at travel agency Fayyaz Travels, noted a “mindset makeover”, with preferences shifting from budget to bespoke.
