“Many Singaporeans have also given us useful suggestions to improve the SRV scheme. The extension of the SRV scheme is intended to sustain this momentum.” These initiatives have had a positive impact on our economy beyond tourism. STB Chief Executive Mr Keith Tan said: “Since the launch of the SingapoRediscovers campaign and the SRV scheme last year, we have been heartened by the tourism sector’s efforts to create new products and experiences for locals. Tour bookings have also more than tripled between April 2021 and December 2020.
STB has observed strong interest in attraction bookings, which make up more than half of all SRV transactions, as well as hotel bookings which have seen the highest transaction revenue (see Annex A). īoth large and smaller merchants have seen uplift in their revenues since the launch of the SRV scheme in December 2020. This consists of approximately $147 million in vouchers and cash payments on tourism bookings, and a further $55 million in additional spending on sectors such as retail, F&B and transport. To date, the SRV scheme has contributed over $200 million to Singapore’s tourism-related businesses. STB will also introduce enhancements to make it easier for Singapore citizens to use their Vouchers and support tourism businesses.Īs of 30 April 2021, over a million adult Singapore citizens have used their SRV at least once, making a total of 1.3 million transactions.
