Indian millennials are being specifically targeted by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) when the organisation unleashed a new video this weekend, featuring both Indian and Singaporean performers, called Unstoppable as a part of a collaboration with Vh1 India.

With the people of India being such an important demographic for Singapore – Indian visitors became the island nation’s “third largest visitor-arrival contributor” last year – and in particular the younger generation, it is smart to reach out and connect with millennials who make up approximately  65% of the population and who keen international travellers and have a high disposable income.

By working with VH1 India on the music video, STB hopes to encourage travel to Singapore by extolling a pioneering spirit and using English music, pop culture and entertainment as a way to connect with the young Indians, who are more adventurous and seek lifestyle exciting authentic experiences when travelling.
