Profile Of UK Tour Operators

Who are the tour operators in UK who have the largest volume of people travelling to Singapore / Asia?

Some of the big tour operators in UK include Cox & Kings, Flight Centre, Premier Holidays, Thomas Cook, Trailfinders etc. The Telegraph Travel Awards 2015-16 lists Britain’s best tour operators, namely Audley, Trailfinders and Scott Dunn, as well as for escorted tour operators i.e. Trafalgar, APT and Wendy Wu.
Some of the UK tour operators that specialize in Asia tours include Asia Inspirations (tailormade arm of Wendy Wu), Selective Asia, Visit Asia and Wendy Wu.  Unfortunately, some of these do not even include Singapore in the Asia itinerary e.g. Audley, Selective Asia, Trafalgar and Wendy Wu.

Volume and capacity is also determined by airlines’ seat numbers and their top operators. There are 45 flights a week from London to Singapore and the most popular airline flying from London to Singapore in May 2016 was Singapore Airlines.  The six non-stop daily flights are by Singapore Airlines (4 flights) and British Airways (2 flights). There are also connecting flights via Amsterdam, Bangkok, Colombo, Copenhagen, Doha, Dubai, Frankfurt, Guangzhou, Hanoi, Helsinki, Hong Kong, Istanbul, Kuala Lumpur, Mumbai, Muscat, Paris, Rome and Zurich.
