Singapore wins Country of the Year Award

Singapore has been named Tripetta’s Country of the Year 2022, becoming the most-visited destination among our customers globally. Tripetta’s annual Country of the Year awards ranks the most popular destinations among our customers, in order to determine the global winner. Last year’s Country of the Year was Finland. Singaporeans using Tripetta were not counted as part of the awards but Tripetta had 150,000 active users in Singapore throughout the entirety of 2022. This is also Tripetta’s first Year in Travel to be written entirely by a robot (including the paragraph you are reading), demonstrating the dramatic growth in our AI capabilities this year.
