Travel agencies in Singapore

Post by abbby » Thu, 06 Aug 2020 3:12 pm

Since they're not getting any business during these times, how do they sustain operations? I have heard many F&Bs shutting, but travel agencies still doing fine?

I imagine it's a pretty low margin business so most will fail.

Maybe there is a small niche for COVID travel? Sorting out flights, tests, SHN accommodation, that sort of thing.

Yes, think their margins are low especially if they sell package tours. And I would feel it's quite hard for them to survive this period.
