Survey also answers which foreign countries are the most popular among Singaporean professionals. Australia and New Zealand were by far the most popular destinations. More than half of the Singapore based relacation seekers have said they want these countries as destination. Europe is the second most preferred destination (47 %) followed by ASEAN (46 %), Shanghai (45%) and Hong Kong (45%).
