7 reasons to check out the upcoming Klook Travel Festival

7 reasons to check out the upcoming Klook Travel Festival

10/19/2019

1. Experience a travel fair like no other

There is nothing traditional about a Klook Travel Fair, so don’t expect flyers in your face, competing loudhailers, pushy booth operators and the like. Instead, get set for a fairground ambience with interactive activities, music performances, 1-for-1 flash deals,  carnival rides and even a pop-up cinema.

While you are making your way around, be sure to have your smartphone in hand — all the better to redeem promotions flashed on the giant LED screen onsite, and snap up great deals. Remember: fastest fingers first.

2. Forget everything you know about planning a holiday

You no longer have to feel overwhelmed by the deluge of options presented to you; this fair brings travellers and travel partners and brands together, to leave you inspired and ready to pack your bags for the next flight.

Discover the flexibility of planning your own itinerary or adjusting it as and when you like. Sweetening the deal are open-dated tickets for some activities or attractions, and “instant confirmation” travel activities you can book on the day itself.

3. Learn the savvy ways of Free and Independent Traveller (FIT) senseis

Not the kind to consider travel agents or package tours, FITs shun travelling in groups and prefer to go where their fancies take them. Planning the trip is a treat in itself, before they even pack their bags; set your budget, consider your options and pull out all the stops to  get creative with your next adventure, deciding how to fly, where you go and what you do.

4. Get inspired to create your perfect holiday

Glean ideas from eight interactive destination zones: Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, Europe, Australia and the USA. Each features Insta-worthy exhibitions depicting iconic photo spots like Indonesia’s Bali Swing and Korea’s  StyleNanda bathtub. Snap away, hashtag your photos with #klookfestsg and you could win $100 Klook credits.

Need clarifications for your questions? Head for the “Ask Klook” carousel where Klook staff can also introduce must-visit spots, give advice on value-for-money transport passes and maybe even let you in on insider travel tips.

Also check out a Build Your Holiday Wall featuring 17 of Klook’s bestseller destinations and recommended activities, and a booth designed to mimic a railway station — in tribute to the romance of rail travel  — manned by rail experts on Japan, Europe and China to help with your booking queries.
