As part of precautionary measures, most attractions will be restricted to no more than 25 per cent of their operating capacity at any one time for a start, while access to casinos will be limited to existing casino members and annual levy holders only.

“With tourism reopening in a safe and gradual manner, STB’s key priority is to ensure that tourism businesses can provide a safe and enjoyable experience for their guests and visitors,” said STB’s chief executive, Keith Tan.

“The tourism sector has been hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, but our industry partners have responded with professionalism and resilience,” said Tan.

STB will also allow domestic tour operators to begin submitting their applications to resume operations.
