About Singapore Tourism Board

Singapore Tourism Board (STB) is at the forefront of redefining travel experiences, continuously evolving to position Singapore as a leading global destination. In line with its commitment to innovation and excellence, STB launched the SingapoReimagine (SRI) International Recovery Campaign in November 2020 to recapture international mindshare and inspire visitors to reimagine the future of travel in Singapore and beyond. Building on the foundation of the Passion Made Possible brand, the campaign urged travelers to reset, reimagine, and rebuild their Singapore experience while affirming the country’s dedication to setting a new benchmark in travel through safety, technology, immersive experiences, and sustainability.

 

 

As global tourism resumed, Singapore continued to reinvent itself, emerging as a top sustainable urban destination and an urban wellness haven, with the tourism sector constantly evolving to meet the growing demand for travel. Through long-term strategic partnerships and ongoing initiatives under SingapoReimagine, STB fostered a vibrant tourism ecosystem that delivers innovative experiences and appeals to both leisure and business travelers alike. Beyond leisure, Singapore is renowned for its thriving business culture, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and excellence in hosting world-class events. STB is committed to reinforcing the country’s position as a Global-Asia model for high-quality business events and a thought leader in MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) innovation, continuously developing sustainable and cutting-edge solutions to set new standards for the future of business events. Through its bold vision and progressive initiatives, the Singapore Tourism Board shapes Singapore into an unparalleled destination that seamlessly blends innovation, sustainability, and world-class experiences for travelers from around the globe.
