Saturday Mornings: Staycations Are Back. Marriott & Annette Lee Revive Singapore’s Favourite Escape

This week on Singapore Home Brew, we explore the return of one of Singapore’s most beloved traditions: the staycation. With airfare soaring and domestic leisure travel booming, Singaporeans are rediscovering the joy of recharging right here at home. MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Oriol Montal, Regional Vice President for Luxury APEC & Singapore at Marriott International, and Annette Lee, actor, comedian, and star of Marriott Bonvoy’s new “Never‑Ending Staycation” campaign... a comedic mini‑series featuring three quirky, distinctly local characters brought to life by Annette. We discuss why Marriott launched this campaign now, how domestic travellers have become Singapore’s second‑largest source market, and the trends shaping how families, couples, and solo travellers choose their weekend escapes. Annette shares how she created her characters, her take on Singapore’s staycation culture, and the fun behind the scenes. Annette also talks about her new Singapore movie: "Dream Stall" dropping on 27 May 2026!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
