Tour operators and tourist guides have been allowed to resume operations from this month, subject to approval from the Ministry of Trade and Industry.that it has received 47 applications so far, of which 36 have been approved to go ahead with their submitted tour itineraries and schedules."While the updated guidelines allow for increased group size and longer tours, tour operators must still comply with all prevailing safe management measures," the STB said.
It added that it will continue to step up checks as tours resume, and non-compliance with the rules may result in fines, prosecution, an order to cease operating and the suspension or revocation of licenses. The tourism board, together with Enterprise Singapore and Sentosa Development Corporation, launched a S$45 million campaign last week to drive local spending at eateries, shops and leisure attractions, which have been badly hit by temporary closures and a tourist drought.
The SingapoRediscovers campaign includes staycation deals and other promotions, such as tours of Singapore's heritage precincts, kelongs and sites with eerie legends.
