With restrictions on travellers visiting Singapore being eased with effect from this month, we are excited to welcome back our friends and fans from India. Under our trade engagement theme ‘Charting our pathways to tourism recovery, together’, we are already working closely with our trade trade partner-friend to launch tactical packages for the upcoming summer and family holiday season. On the consumer engagement front, STB continues to showcase Singapore’s vibrant destination offerings to Indian travellers through fresh and innovative ways. Renjie will help drive these initiatives with particular focus on the West and South India regions.”
