About the Flip Flop Report
Expedia’s 2013 Flip Flop Report is an analysis of the behaviour and preferences among beachgoers around the world. Conducted from 19 April to 15 May 2013, the online study spans across North America, South America, Europe and Asia Pacific. It reveals the behaviour and attitudes towards beach vacations of over 8,000 travellers above 18 years old in 21 countries, with 305 Singaporean participants.
Another surprising finding from the study showed that 29% of Singaporean beachgoers have gone nude or topless on a beach before, higher than the global average of 27%. Singaporeans are not so conservative after all!
Beach holidays are made for fantastic photo and video opportunities. When asked about ways to share beach memories, holiday-makers from India, Malaysia and Singapore are the most connected to their social media platforms. 34% of Singaporeans indicate that they will share their videos online and 56% state they will share photos on various social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. That is 1 in 2 Singaporeans! In addition, 17% will blog about their experiences during their beach vacation.
