Taiwan Tourism Administration launched an outdoor advertising campaign across Singapore’s transit network on September 22. It targets repeat visitors after logging 1.35 million trips from the city-state between 2023 and 2025.

Branded wraps and station takeovers cover public buses, taxis, and Mass Rapid Transit stations under the theme Taiwan 100 Ways.

Singapore-born illustrator Tiffany Lovage designed the artwork. Visuals group activities under three categories: ecology, lifestyle of health and sustainability, and food. Featured itineraries highlight surfing, diving, hot-air ballooning, and trips on the Taiwan Railway Administration’s Haifeng and Shanlan scenic tourist trains.

Targeting Repeat Travellers Beyond Taipei

Officials are steering the campaign toward central and southern destinations instead of northern urban hubs. Singapore residents who visited Taiwan in the past three years can claim targeted incentives.

Commuter ads connect to an online travel personality quiz and a prize lottery for return flights and merchandise. Travellers register through a dedicated portal to enter.

Transit Media Strategy in Singapore

Regional tourism offices across Asia-Pacific are channeling media spend into high-frequency commuter corridors. Singapore ranks among Southeast Asia’s highest-spending outbound leisure travel markets per capita.

Funneling passengers toward regional services like the Haifeng and Shanlan lines channels spend into local rail operators, regional hospitality providers, and suburban retail corridors. The strategy eases crowding in Taipei while supporting regional small businesses.

Passenger traffic between Singapore and Taiwan grew steadily through 2024 and 2025 to reach the 1.35 million cumulative total cited by the agency. Direct flights and visa-free access continue to drive frequent return visits.

Campaign placements will run across transport networks through the fourth quarter as destination marketers compete for year-end holiday bookings.
