SINGAPORE - As attractions reopen and tours gradually resume, tour operators plan to focus on domestic tourism and encourage Singaporeans to explore their own backyard.

Speaking to The Straits Times on Wednesday, Ms Jasmine Tan, co-founder of operator Oriental Travel and Tours said:"We're very excited to be able to start work again. We've been mentally prepared that we would have to take many safety precautions. It is the norm now." Ms Tan also said the company will provide disposable headsets to tour participants. Tour guides will have their own headsets with microphones wirelessly connected to the disposable headsets, which will allow participants to listen to the guide's commentary without having to stand too close.

Mr Suen said he is planning to convert their popular free walking tours, which used to cater to groups of 25 to 60 people, into private paid tours for groups of five. The tour takes participants to different eerie sites in Singapore, including a spot near a beach where the Japanese army possibly massacred thousands of innocent people during World War II and one of the world's largest Chinese cemeteries. Guides will also entertain participants with gruesome ghost stories along the way. The two-hour tour costs $120 per person. The charge covers private transport to three locations and tour guide fees.
