More Travellers Expected in Singapore This Year – Vaccination Drives Pivotal

As countries around the world continue COVID-19 vaccination rollouts, Singapore is hopeful that this will in turn lead to increased travel to the country. This was highlighted in an article published on the Bloomberg website on 8th February 2021, quoting Ong Ye Kung, the Singapore Transport Minister who was interviewed by Bloomberg Television. According to the minister, nations could relax border controls if immigration authorities were provided with a set standard for vaccine certification to be used as part of the entry policies.

Minister Ong Ye Kung further stated that as regions became safe due to the vaccines and the prevalence of herd immunity, Singapore could open travel corridors with certain nations. The country has already adopted stringent health guidelines be it at attractions or luxury resort hotel options; properties belonging to brands such as the Pan Pacific Hotels Group follow comprehensive hygiene and sanitization protocols to ensure safe stays for all.
