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:

  • Novelty and excitement: Explore picturesque precincts through unique tours such as Historical Singapore Bike Tours and Bugis, Waterloo and Kampong Gelam Instagram Walking Tour.
  • Food and dining: Savour local culinary delights on board the Singapore River Dining Cruise as you explore the island-city’s history, or discover the origins of Singapore Dry Gin at the Brass Lion Distillery Tour.
  • Sustainability: Enjoy eco-friendly activities such as the Pleated Bag Making Workshop, learn about aquatic husbandry and conservation at S.E.A. Aquarium + Behind The Panel Guided Tour, or take an inside look at one of the world’s best airports through the Jewel Connection: Changi Airport & Jewel Changi Walking Tour.
  • Wellness: Find an oasis of calm at the Singapore Flora Heritage Room Diffuser Workshop or get a refreshing workout at the Aqua Spinning Workout Class.
