Singapore F1 race week bookings fall as TOKEN2049 heads to Marina Bay Sands in October
Flight and hotel booking data tied to the 2026 Singapore Formula 1 race week came in below last year’s comparable booking window, according to Lianhe Zaobao, in a report cited by ChainCatcher. As of early September, flight bookings for race week were down 22.92% year over year. As of Sept. 21, hotel bookings for the race long weekend were about 14% lower than the same reservation stage a year earlier. Industry participants said two factors may have diverted part of the visitor flow: this year’s race does not overlap with China’s National Day Golden Week, and Malaysia’s Sepang round has returned after a nine-year absence and is scheduled for the previous week. Over the same period, TOKEN2049 Singapore is set for Oct. 7-8 at Marina Bay Sands. Organizers expect the event to attract more than 25,000 attendees.
