Holiday bug bites
DEMAND for overseas travel hit fever pitch at Suntec City over the weekend. More than seven major tour agencies held individual travel fairs, their first for the year, and drew crowds of holidaymakers, drumming up millions of dollars in sales. Competition was stiff among travel agencies that set up shop there, yet many of them posted an increase in sales of between 10 per cent and 35 per cent compared with the same period last year, due to more bookings and travellers opting for bigger ticket tours. The bulk of the bookings are for travel until June.
