SINGAPORE - Just like many Singaporeans' travel arrangements, plans for the country's biggest biannual travel fairs are also up in the air.

She told The New Paper:"Travelling now is too uncertain and for most, not essential. The facts make it impossible to plan for a trip any time soon, as international border restrictions and lockdown measures are so unpredictable.

People will be confident to travel again, but with caution."
