Have you always wished that you could explore a city during a long layover? Well, good news! The Singapore Tourism Board has launched SingapoRewards, a new programme that offers complimentary experiences in Singapore for international visitors ? We all love free stuff, right? This programme will run through 2023 and will provide visitors with an opportunity to try one of nearly 40 new or “off-the-beaten-path” experiences in Singapore for free!
From 7 March 2023, eligible short-term visitors to Singapore can redeem a free experience from a specially selected list of SingapoRewards activities. Many of these experiences will showcase less well-known places of interest or provide access to unique, exclusive experiences. Collectively, these experiences will offer new perspectives of Singapore – even to returning visitors. Redemptions and bookings can be made on the VisitSingapore app or the SingapoRewards microsite.
Keith Tan, Chief Executive Officer of the Singapore Tourism Board, said they wanted to enhance international travellers' experience by introducing them to the hidden gems that are unique in Singapore.
"By focusing on innovative experiences, SingapoRewards also provides a platform for local businesses to launch and test new products and offerings. I invite all visitors to explore our city’s diverse offerings through SingapoRewards, and to share their positive experience with others,” he said.
A better way to holiday in Singapore
SingapoRewards was successfully piloted from Oct 2022 to March 2023 in Australia, India and Indonesia. With the full global launch, visitors can look forward to different activities to suit their interests and itineraries. These are curated across various precincts and categories:
