Taking to X, Pitti cited the number of Indians who go to Singapore annually, making India one of Singapore's largest source markets, alongside Singaporeans discovering India. This shows incredible room for mutual growth on both sides, and we can increase tourism in both countries," he wrote on X. He further stated that, although there are currently approximately 240 flights linking 17 Indian cities with Singapore, tier-2 and tier-3 cities remain underserved.

At EaseMyTrip, he said they have witnessed demand from these emerging markets.

"People are looking to travel but need better access.

The opportunities are massive, cruise circuits linking Singapore-Andamans-India (~150,000 Indians already cruise from Singapore annually), MICE packages combining both destinations, and joint investment in wellness tourism, and many more," he said, making a case for more collaboration.
