STB series of events to mark 50 years of tourism in Singapore

STB series of events to mark 50 years of tourism in Singapore

To commemorate 50 years of tourism development and promotion in Singapore, the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has lined up a series of events and activities which will be run in three phases – “Reminisce”, “Rediscover” and “Celebrate”.

The first wave of Tourism50 initiatives – “Reminisce” -- will take local residents on a walk down memory lane.

Some old attractions will be featured and the STB hopes its events will help to raise awareness and appreciation of those places.

One such event is a series of free guided Haw Par Villa tours and talks, curated and conducted by a local heritage tour specialist, which will take place over two weekends in March 15, 16, 22 and 23.

The “Rediscover” phase will feature unique experiences designed by local tourism enterprises from various sectors, and will run from April to October.

The Celebrate phase will showcase festive light-ups and various events, and set the mood for Singapore's 50th birthday celebrations next year.

Details for the “Rediscover” and “Celebrate” phases will be made known at a later date.
