Singaporean travellers seek thrilling experiences out of a vacation

A recent study conducted among 500 Singaporean travellers aged 18-34 has unveiled the top 20 perfect moments that these individuals seek to experience while on holiday.
 
The research, commissioned by Contiki, a social travel company catering to young adults, aimed to identify the key factors that contribute to creating unforgettable trips. According to the findings, stepping out of one's comfort zone, meeting new people, trying local delicacies, and visiting renowned landmarks were among the pivotal elements.
 
Making new friends was considered a key component by 32% of the respondents, who believed that meeting at least two people added to the memorability of their trips. Furthermore, indulging in the local cuisine was regarded as crucial by 66% of the participants, who believed that trying at least four new dishes contributed to a remarkable vacation.
 
The research shed light on Singaporean travellers' preferences when it came to capturing the perfect moments on their trips. On average, respondents took 73 photos and 14 videos, aiming to document the four most memorable experiences they encountered. 
 
The study also highlighted the growing importance of physical connections in today's increasingly virtual world. More than half of the respondents (56%) emphasised the significance of spending quality time with people while on holiday. Additionally, 47% of the participants felt so strongly about the importance of memorable vacations that they would be willing to quit a job that hindered them from taking the necessary time off.
