Attempts by the SARS-battered Singapore Airlines to offer travelers bargain deals have been stalled here by domestic regulations, despite high hopes for mutual promotion of tourism under a bilateral free trade agreement signed recently.
On June 6, Singapore Airlines unveiled its largest global campaign ever, dubbed Fabulous Offer, featuring discounts of up to 75 percent.
The deals on offer, incorporating airfares, two nights at a hotel and other benefits, are aimed at restoring consumer confidence in Singapore, which has seen its travel traffic plunge amid the outbreak of the deadly severe acute respiratory syndrome.
