About Singapore Tourism Board

The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) is redefining travel by positioning Singapore as a leading global destination through innovation and excellence. In November 2020, STB launched the SingapoReimagine campaign to reignite international interest and inspire travelers to reimagine the future of travel in Singapore. Built on the Passion Made Possible brand, the campaign highlights Singapore’s commitment to safety, technology, immersive experiences, and sustainability.

 

As global travel resumed, Singapore continued evolving as a top sustainable urban destination and wellness hub. Under SingapoReimagine, STB nurtures a dynamic tourism ecosystem through strategic partnerships and innovative offerings for both leisure and business travelers. Renowned for its business-friendly environment and world-class infrastructure, Singapore also leads in hosting global events and advancing MICE innovation. With bold vision and forward-thinking initiatives, STB continues to shape Singapore into a destination that seamlessly blends innovation, sustainability, and exceptional experiences.
