Due to the pandemic, travelling has been put on pause, causing a major impact on tourism across the globe. It’s sad that it may take time for us to travel again to our favorite destinations. Our option is to wait and to be productive as we can while staying at home until our next great escapades.
I saw online that Singapore Tourism Board‘s (STB) has #TravelThrowback initiative to promote tourism in Southeast Asia. It is aimed at uniting passionate travelers to promote the beauty of not just Singapore, but the entirety of Southeast Asia. This initiative—an undertaking in partnership with strategic tourism partners in Southeast Asia—intends to spark interest and encourage travellers to make the region a top-of-mind destination once international travel resumes fully.
As we all that social media influence most of us on our travel decisions. The #TravelThrowback initiative calls on Instagram travellers across Southeast Asia to share their favorite travel throwbacks from their photo library by posting them using the specially created “TravelThrowback” Instagram Effect available on @Visit_Singapore’s Instagram page. With this Instagram Effect, users can share their memories across destinations in Southeast Asia and tag their friends and family to challenge them to do the same.
STB will be working with various local partners in each Southeast Asian country to welcome other national tourism organizations, tourism providers and travel stakeholders to be a part of the #TravelThrowback social initiative to inspire wanderlust
