Western Australia ranks as the top Australian destination for Singaporeans, with seasonal direct flights and a range of exciting 2025 events.
SINGAPORE – For the first time ever, Western Australia has ranked as the #1 destination in Australia for Singapore travellers from April – June 2024, welcoming over 34,000 visitors within the quarter. Based on the recently published June 2024 International and National Visitor Survey by Tourism Research Australia, Singapore travellers also notably make up the #2 largest volume of global visitors to Western Australia in 2024 with over 99,000 visitors to date — and the #1 from APAC.
With Western Australia growing as a popular travel destination for Singapore visitors, Tourism Western Australia (Tourism WA) announced seasonal direct flights to Broome from Singapore by Jetstar Asia earlier this year. This service makes Jetstar Asia the only airline offering international flights to regional Western Australia, marking the first instance of regular scheduled services between the two locations. The seasonal service will recommence in April 2025, and offers twice weekly return services each year between Singapore and the coastal town of Broome.
