Singapore tourism sector keeps up domestic market focus in 'twin approach' to recovery

THE Singapore Tourism Board (STB) will continue to encourage domestic tourism, even as policymakers work to win back international visitors, STB chief executive Keith Tan said on Tuesday (Jan 25).

That's as the tourism sector was supported in 2021 by the domestic market, which Tan said goes beyond the SingapoRediscovers Vouchers (SRV) stimulus credit scheme.

But, with domestic demand limited and arrivals not expected to recover fully this year, watchers warned that businesses and workers will remain under pressure.
