SINGAPORE, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Following research revealing travel planners as the least-thanked people in every group chat, Klook is inviting the world to nominate (or self-nominate) the planner who deserves a trip they do not have to plan.
Every FIT (Free Independent Traveler) group trip has a planner.
The one who builds the spreadsheet. The one fielding "wait, what time do we leave?" texts at midnight. The one who takes the blame when the itinerary does not please everyone, and rarely gets the credit when it does.
Klook's survey of 2,725 travelers across 10 markets confirms what planners have long suspected: travel planning ranks among the least-thanked tasks people do for others, behind everyday favors like carrying bags or holding doors. More than 8 in 10 planners say they spend over 10 hours organizing a single group trip. Work that, by their own estimate, is worth over US$50 an hour.
Even when someone else takes over the planning, 42.4% of travel planners admit: they quietly and anxiously watch from the sidelines. Always checking, second-guessing, and ready to step in if needed.
That tracks.
Handing a trip to another person does not remove the work; it just relocates it. Someone still has to juggle the tabs, chase the group chat, and decide.
"We built Klook to make travel planning simpler, so travelers can spend less time on admin and more time on experiences," says Marcus Yong, VP of Global Marketing at Klook. "Now we're taking that promise one step further with a fully-planned getaway for five travel planners who always get travel right for their friends and families."
"It's their turn to take a vacation from planning vacations," he adds.
From 10 to 31 August 2026, Klook is launching a global search for five travel planners who are really good at doing their job and really tired from doing it. They will get treated to a 7-day hosted trip to Switzerland in December 2026, where their only job is to show up.
Entering is simple.
Nominate the travel planner in your life (or yourself) by telling Klook about a time they kept the whole trip together. What did they organize? What went hilariously wrong? And why do they deserve this getaway?
Your story will help Klook understand why they deserve a vacation from planning vacations.
For bonus points, upload a 60-second video or share a link (TikTok, YouTube, or Google Drive) showing them in action. It could be their legendary spreadsheets, chaotic group chat screenshots, or the moment they somehow saved the trip while everyone else just enjoyed the ride.

Enhanced lifestyle planning, precision manufacturing and comprehensive interior solutions strengthen the company's commitment to modern home renovation in Singapore
SINGAPORE, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vorge Singapore has expanded its sustainable prefabricated cabinetry solutions, providing homeowners with a more comprehensive renovation experience that combines precision manufacturing, healthier materials and personalised lifestyle planning. The expanded offering reflects the growing demand among Singapore homeowners for durable, low-formaldehyde cabinetry and thoughtfully designed living spaces.
Building on its expertise in prefabricated cabinetry, Vorge Singapore now offers an enhanced customer journey that integrates immersive showroom consultations, detailed space planning, premium wall panel systems and aluminium glass door solutions, enabling homeowners to complete their interior projects through a single trusted specialist.
"Today's homeowners are looking beyond aesthetics; they want homes that are healthier, functional and built to last," said Karen Lim, Founder of Vorge Singapore. "Our expanded solutions allow us to support homeowners from the initial planning stage through installation, delivering cabinetry that is precision-engineered to improve everyday living."
Unlike conventional carpentry methods, Vorge Singapore's prefabricated cabinetry is designed using advanced digital software that integrates directly with automated manufacturing technology. Every cabinet component is engineered, labelled and manufactured off-site before installation, reducing on-site cutting while improving workmanship, installation accuracy and finishing quality. This approach also minimises formaldehyde exposure by using carefully selected sustainable materials, creating healthier living environments for families.
As part of its expanded service offering, Vorge Singapore has also strengthened its consultation process to help homeowners make better renovation decisions before construction begins. Through its immersive showroom experience, customers can explore full-scale kitchen and wardrobe displays, compare materials and finishes, and collaborate with design consultants to create storage solutions tailored to their lifestyles and long-term needs.
"We believe every family lives differently, which is why every renovation should begin with understanding how homeowners actually use their spaces," Lim added. "Our role is not simply to build cabinets, but to design solutions that improve organisation, comfort and daily living."
In addition to prefabricated cabinetry, Vorge Singapore provides premium wall panel systems and aluminium glass door solutions, giving homeowners and interior designers access to a wider selection of coordinated interior finishing products through a single provider. The expanded range enables customers to achieve greater design consistency while streamlining the renovation process.
Although prefabricated cabinetry has been widely adopted in advanced manufacturing markets, the concept remains relatively new in Singapore. Vorge Singapore continues to educate homeowners on the long-term advantages of precision manufacturing, including improved durability, cleaner installations and more consistent product quality.
Looking ahead, Vorge Singapore aims to continue investing in sustainable manufacturing, customer education and innovative cabinetry solutions as it strengthens its position as one of Singapore's trusted specialists in premium home renovation.
