Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), the leading airline in the Philippines, has renewed its partnership with the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) to promote travel to Singapore and encourage travelers to explore the city-state.
In April 2022, CEB and STB signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to mark the reopening of Singapore’s borders. After a successful year, the two parties have renewed their MOU to further their collaboration and promote travel to Singapore. Joint marketing and promotions, as well as joint business development in the areas of fly-cruise and meetings and incentive corporate groups, are among the key projects in this year’s MOU.
“Philippines is a key market for Singapore, and the attractive promotions from Cebu Pacific will be complemented by STB’s ‘SingapoRewards’ programme, which offers a free experience for every eligible tourist to Singapore,” said Ms. Juliana Kua, Assistant Chief Executive for International Group, Singapore Tourism Board (STB).
SingapoRewards is a new programme that will provide international visitors with an opportunity to try one of nearly 40 new or “off-the-beaten-path” experiences in Singapore for free throughout 2023.
Cebu Pacific offers strong connectivity to Singapore, with flights from Manila, Cebu, Davao, and starting in April, from Clark, Pampanga. The airline currently operates three flights daily between Manila and Singapore, as well as daily flights from Mactan Cebu International Airport. CEB will also increase its Singapore flights from Davao to four times weekly from March 26, 2023. Furthermore, CEB will start its daily Clark-Singapore flight on April 28, 2023, providing travelers from Northern Luzon a new gateway.
“We value this partnership with the Singapore Tourism Board. With recovery in place and our growth plans set in motion, our main goal now is to fly every Juan to exciting destinations such as Singapore and enjoy all the offerings in this beautiful destination that we missed doing during the pandemic,” said Candice Iyog, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer of Cebu Pacific.
To encourage travel to Singapore, CEB travelers may book their flights for as low as PHP499 one-way base fare, exclusive of surcharges and fees from March 13 to March 15, 2023. The travel period is from June 1 to November 30, 2023. Existing Travel Funds may be used to pay for flights and other add-ons, and other payment options such as payment centers, credit or debit cards, and e-wallets may also be used.
CEB currently operates flights to 34 domestic and 25 international destinations, spanning across Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.
