Safeguards to prevent abuse of tourism voucher scheme

Singapore

WHILE hoteliers and tourist attraction operators prepare to welcome Singaporeans making use of the government's SingapoRediscovers Vouchers, analysts said it will be important to erect safeguards to prevent abuse that dilutes the scheme's targeted support of the industry.

And indeed, the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) confirmed to The Business Times that such safeguards will be built into the scheme before the vouchers are launched at year-end.
