Country Managing Director of Google Singapore Ben King says, “Our data shows a preference for destinations closer to home, with eight out of the top 10 destinations favoured by Singaporeans within Asia Pacific.
Sidetracking a little, contrary to the "work hard and play hard" saying, did you know that your brain is designed for regular periods of downtime?
Our brains have two modes of processing, action-oriented and default mode network (DMN). For our brains to function optimally, it needs to go into DMN mode, which is letting your mind go cruising.
Apart from mental recharges, short trips are great as they're less of a logistical nightmare to plan and possibly beneficial to the pocket (compared to long-haul trips).

If you've been bitten by the wanderlust bug hard and thinking when's the best time to get cheap flight tickets, Ben has a tip for you.
Based on Google Flights' historical pricing data for trips departing from Singapore, prices tend to dip to their lowest between 4 to 6 months.
The lowest point hovers around 5.5 months before the travel date. Which means if you already have year-end plans in mind, please just go ahead and book now.
Given most Singaporeans' preference to escape to wintry climates, this could be the perfect time to start planning your year-end ski vacation.

Who's Hot Among APAC travellers
It could due to our position in the equator, but there's no denying APAC's popularity as a tourist hotspot. Singapore is also a popular choice among our neighbours, claiming third spot on the list and appearing six times.
From Google's data, 70% of people in Asia Pacific (APAC) are planning to travel within the region, making APAC a hot favourite.
The popularity of the land of the rising sun is undeniable, appearing 22 times in the top 10 lists of countries Google and topping seven of them.
The top destination searches include Japan, Thailand, The United States, The United Kingdom, and South Korea.
Southeast Asia is also a popular choice, with a third of APAC travellers looking to visit the region. Unsurprisingly, Bangkok emerged as the top city, followed by Bali.
With travel back in the cards for Singaporeans, sandy beaches and seaside retreats is surely balm for many a weary soul.
