Over 70 exhibitors fill 20,000 sqm of event space, covering travel agents, cruise lines, airlines, hotels, national tourism organisations, and banks. Whether you are visiting to hunt for deals or exhibiting to grow your business, this guide covers everything you need — with verified information sourced directly from the official NATAS website and exhibitors list.

Event Details at a Glance

NATAS Travel Fair 2026 is the largest travel consumer event of Singapore's first quarter. The March timing is significant — it coincides with the school holiday period, which drives strong family turnout and boosts demand for holiday packages across all price points. Here are the confirmed event details.

About NATAS and Why This Fair Matters

NATAS — the National Association of Travel Agents Singapore — is the governing body for Singapore's travel agent industry. It represents hundreds of licensed travel agencies operating across the country. NATAS Travel Fair is its flagship public event, held to connect agencies directly with consumers in a high-intent buying environment.

The March 2026 edition falls within Singapore's school holiday calendar. Historically, this drives one of the highest consumer spending periods for travel bookings in the year. For many agencies, NATAS generates more direct bookings over three days than weeks of regular business. For visitors, the fair offers something rare — the ability to compare dozens of travel packages face-to-face, ask questions directly to travel consultants, and close bookings on the spot with exclusive fair-only pricing.

Bank credit card promotions add another layer of value. DBS, UOB, OCBC, Citibank, Maybank, and Standard Chartered each maintain dedicated booths at the fair, offering cardmembers additional cashback or travel credits on bookings made on-site. This makes NATAS Travel Fair the only event in Singapore where you can simultaneously compare travel deals and maximise credit card rewards in a single visit.

How the Fair Is Organised: Hall 4 and Hall 5

The fair occupies two connected halls at Singapore EXPO — Hall 4 and Hall 5 — totalling 20,000 sqm of event space. Understanding the hall structure before you arrive helps you navigate efficiently and avoid missing exhibitors relevant to your travel interests.

Hall 4 is the main hall. It hosts the majority of exhibitors, including most travel agencies, all cruise operators, national tourism organisations, airline partners, and the insurance booth. Booths in Hall 4 carry the prefix "4H" followed by the booth number.

Hall 5 is adjacent to Hall 4 and hosts additional travel agents, Singapore Airlines, the strategic media partner, and several other travel services. Booths in Hall 5 carry the prefix "5H." The bank booths carry a "B" prefix and are positioned in a dedicated section — likely near a central aisle or entrance area — to maximise access for the large volume of cardmember enquiries they receive.

The full floor plan is available for download at natastravelfair.travel/floor-plan. Download it before you visit and mark your priority booths in advance.

Bank Booths and Credit Card Promotions at NATAS 2026

One of the defining features of NATAS Travel Fair is the dedicated participation of Singapore's major banks. Six banks are confirmed at NATAS Travel 2026, each running their own booth and offering cardmembers exclusive promotions on travel bookings made at the fair. These promotions typically include additional cashback, travel credits, airline miles, or interest-free instalment payment plans.

Visit your bank's booth early on Day 1 — Friday 27 March — before the weekend crowd builds. Bank representatives at the fair can advise on which card gives you the highest rebate for the specific agency you plan to book with. Check your bank's official website or app for pre-announced NATAS promotions before the fair opens, as some deals require advance card activation or registration.

Important: Specific cashback rates and promotion terms are set and published by each bank independently. As of this article's publication, individual bank promotion rates for NATAS Travel 2026 have not yet been announced publicly. Check each bank's official website directly for confirmed details as the event approaches.

Cruise Travel at NATAS 2026 — A Major Highlight This Year

Cruise travel is one of the fastest-growing segments at NATAS in recent years. NATAS Travel 2026 reflects this with five dedicated cruise exhibitors — including one high-profile participant making its presence felt in Singapore's consumer fair circuit.

Disney Cruise Line at Booth 4H48 is one of the most anticipated exhibitors at NATAS Travel 2026. Disney Cruise Line serves the premium family travel market and its participation signals strong demand from Singapore families for internationally branded cruise experiences. Visitors interested in Disney cruises should prioritise this booth early in their visit — it is expected to be one of the most visited booths throughout the weekend.

Citystate Cruises (4H26) and Stamford Discovery Cruise Center (4H21) cater primarily to the local short-cruise market — popular for weekend getaways and regional itineraries departing from Singapore. Cruise Connexions (4H22) and Cruise Wonders (4H14) offer a broader range of cruise lines and itineraries, making them useful first stops for first-time cruise buyers who want to compare options before committing.

National Tourism Organisations at NATAS 2026

National tourism organisations attend NATAS to promote their destinations directly to Singapore consumers. Their booths are among the most visually distinctive at the fair — typically featuring destination imagery, cultural props, and promotional giveaways. Six NTOs are confirmed for NATAS Travel 2026.

Japan is consistently one of the most searched travel destinations from Singapore. Mie Prefecture — at Booth 4H36 — offers a less-covered Japanese destination alternative to the standard Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto itineraries. It is worth visiting if you are looking for a quieter, more local Japan experience. Meanwhile, Cuba at Booth 4H52 is a rare entry at Singapore travel fairs, reflecting the growing appetite among Singapore travellers for long-haul and experiential journeys.

Travel-Related Services and Official Partners

Beyond travel agencies, NATAS Travel 2026 includes a wide range of practical travel services. These exhibitors serve the day-to-day needs of travellers — from insurance and currency to mobile data and loyalty cards.

WISE (Booth 4H16) and YouTrip Singapore (Booth 4H43) are practical stops for budget-conscious travellers. Both services reduce foreign currency conversion fees when spending abroad — often more cost-effective than airport money changers. Meanwhile, MCT eSIM Travel Data (Booth 4H12) and Yoowifi (Booth 4H02) serve travellers looking for affordable international data plans without the cost of a roaming SIM.

Destinations to Expect at NATAS Travel 2026

Based on the confirmed exhibitors list and consistent patterns from past NATAS fairs, the following destinations are expected to feature prominently in agency promotions. Note: Specific package pricing and inclusions are set by individual agencies and are not publicly available prior to the fair opening.

• Japan — Consistently the top-searched destination from Singapore. Packages typically cover Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hokkaido, and increasingly off-peak regional itineraries. Mie Prefecture's NTO presence at Booth 4H36 adds a less-covered Japan angle worth exploring.
• South Korea — Strong demand, especially among younger travellers. Expect Seoul, Jeju, and Busan packages from multiple agencies across both halls.
• Europe — Europamundo Vacations (4H30) and Trafalgar (4H27) are internationally recognised group tour operators covering Europe broadly. Italy by Ergo: Travel (4H05) focuses specifically on Italy.
• Cruise packages — Five cruise exhibitors including Disney Cruise Line (4H48) make cruise travel a major focus this year. Short regional cruises and longer Asia-Pacific itineraries are both expected.
• Taiwan — Taiwan Tourism Administration at Booth 5H07 drives agency promotion for Taipei, Taichung, Taroko Gorge, and the east coast.
• Indonesia — Wonderful Indonesia at Booth 4H23 covers Bali, Lombok, Komodo, and other archipelago destinations with strong appeal to Singapore families.
• East Malaysia and Brunei — Sarawak Tourism Board (4H41) and Brunei Tourism (4H24) represent accessible regional options popular for nature and adventure travel.
• Cuba and long-haul — Ministry of Tourism of Cuba at Booth 4H52 serves the growing segment of Singapore travellers seeking adventurous or off-the-beaten-path long-haul itineraries.

What to Expect Day by Day

All three days run on the same hours: 10:00 AM to 9:30 PM. However, the visitor experience across each day is meaningfully different. Knowing what to expect helps you plan your visit around the right energy and opportunity.

Friday 27 March — Opening Day

Opening day typically draws early deal-hunters alongside office workers visiting after 6:00 PM. The morning and early afternoon are comparatively quieter — this is the best window for unhurried conversations with travel consultants at any booth you choose. Many agencies also release their strongest first-day pricing to build early booking momentum. If you have schedule flexibility, arriving at 10:00 AM on Friday gives you first access to deals and a calmer browsing environment than the weekend provides.

Saturday 28 March — Peak Crowd Day

Saturday is historically the busiest single day at any NATAS fair. Families, couples, and large groups arrive from the morning and footfall builds quickly. Queues form at high-traffic booths — Chan Brothers (4H08), EU Holidays (5H02), WTS Travel (5H03), and Disney Cruise Line (4H48) will likely be the most congested. Arriving before 10:30 AM or after 6:00 PM is advisable to avoid peak congestion. Come with a prioritised list of booths so you spend your energy on what matters most.

Sunday 29 March — Last Day

Sunday sees agencies managing their final allocations before the fair closes. Some agencies offer last-day pricing adjustments or added-value inclusions — such as complimentary travel insurance, additional tour days, or airport transfer upgrades — to clear remaining quota. However, popular packages for high-demand destinations like Japan, Korea, and Europe may already be limited or sold out by this point. If attending only one day, Friday morning remains the optimal choice for deal availability and visitor comfort.

Tips for Getting the Most from NATAS Travel 2026

NATAS Travel Fair rewards visitors who arrive with a plan. Here are practical tips that apply across all three days.

Download the floor plan before you go. The official floor plan is available at natastravelfair.travel/floor-plan. Mark your priority booths before entering. This prevents backtracking and saves significant time when the hall is crowded.

Bring all your credit cards. Different agencies partner with different banks for their exclusive deals. Having your DBS, UOB, OCBC, Citibank, Maybank, and Standard Chartered cards ready gives you flexibility to maximise whichever bank promotion applies at each booth.

Bring a pen and notepad — or use your phone's notes app. During busy hours, travel consultants serve multiple customers simultaneously. Writing down package details, inclusions, and booth numbers lets you compare offers from different agencies without having to queue multiple times at the same booth.

Know your travel dates before you go. Agencies at NATAS price packages according to departure windows. Knowing your preferred travel period — school holidays, peak season, or off-peak — lets consultants give you accurate, relevant quotations on the spot and avoids wasted time.

Visit the insurance booth separately. Etiqa Insurance is the official travel insurer at NATAS 2026 (Booth 4H49). Some package tours include travel insurance — verify the coverage details at the Etiqa booth before assuming it meets your needs. Standalone Etiqa policies may offer broader coverage than bundled options.

Getting to Singapore EXPO

Singapore EXPO is located at 1 Expo Drive, Singapore 486150, in the eastern part of Singapore near Changi Airport.

By MRT — Recommended

Take the East-West Line (Green Line) to Expo MRT Station (EW29 / CG1). The station connects directly to Singapore EXPO via a covered walkway. Halls 4 and 5 are approximately a 3-minute walk from the station entrance, following NATAS event signage inside the building. MRT is the most reliable option during NATAS weekend — carparks reach capacity quickly on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

By Bus

Several bus services stop at Singapore EXPO, including services 24, 35, 65, and 858. Bus routes and frequency vary by boarding point — check the SBS Transit or TransitLink journey planner for the most accurate route from your location. However, MRT remains faster and more predictable during peak event hours.

By Car or Taxi / Grab

Singapore EXPO has multi-storey carparks with standard parking charges. On Saturday 28 March, carparks can reach capacity before noon. Arriving before 10:30 AM or after 6:00 PM improves your chances of securing a space without a long wait. Grab drop-off is available at the main driveway entrance — allow for longer pickup wait times during peak hours.

For Exhibitors: What You Need to Know Before NATAS Opens

If you are exhibiting at NATAS Travel 2026, setup day is typically the day before the event opens — Thursday 26 March 2026. NATAS issues exhibitor setup passes separately from general public admission. Contact your NATAS event coordinator for your confirmed setup window, loading bay access at Singapore EXPO, and any on-site exhibitor briefings scheduled before Day 1.

Booth space at NATAS Singapore EXPO is standard shell-scheme — meaning basic partition walls, a name fascia, standard lighting, and electrical points. Display stands, printed graphics, table covers, and brochure organisers are the exhibitor's own responsibility. Most travel agents exhibiting at NATAS use pull up banners on back and side walls, branded table runners on their front counter, and acrylic brochure holders to organise their printed packages.

If you need exhibition display stands for NATAS 2026, PullUpStand.com supplies custom-printed pull up banners, table runners, and complete booth packages to Singapore exhibitors. They have supplied display stands for events at Singapore EXPO, Suntec City, and Marina Bay Sands. Pull up banners start from SGD 95, table runners from SGD 200, and complete display packages from SGD 270. To guarantee delivery before setup day, place your order by 19 March 2026 — five working days before Thursday 26 March. Browse the full range at pullupstand.com.
