Why Batam?
“I’ve been to Batam before, why should we go there again?”
“What’s there to do in Batam anyway?”
“Batam is for older people, why do we want to go there?”
These are the questions we occasionally get when we promote our Batam packages to our new customers. But nothing could be further from the truth!
Thousands of travellers from Singapore go for a short Batam getaway every week, especially during the weekends. Many are making multiple leisure trips in a year; a 3 days 2 nights, 2 days 1 night, and even 1-day Batam trips.
There must be things that draw thousands of people to Batam every week, don’t you think?
Where is Batam?
Besides Bintan, Batam is one of the closest overseas destinations from Singapore. Situated in the Riau Archipelago, it’s an Indonesian island located to the south-east of Singapore.
