STB chief executive Keith Tan said the agency is launching a tender to find platform operators to provide a digital voucher redemption system. The SingapoRediscover vouchers can be accessed digitally via SingPass. According to Chan, the duration of the voucher programme was timed to coincide with the June and December holidays, while spreading out demand in between. SingapoRediscover vouchers will be available from December 2020 through June 2021. When can the SingapoRediscovers vouchers be used? Permanent residents are not eligible for the scheme. Singaporeans aged 18 and above in 2020 will be receiving SingapoRediscover vouchers, while those under 18 will enjoy up to six subsidised attraction or tour tickets at $10 off. Reiterating that it is not a social assistance scheme, trade and industry minister Chan Chun Sing said: “This is an economic scheme to help our tourist attractions preserve their capabilities that have been built up over their years while they consolidate the capacity in the interim.” Who is eligible for the vouchers? Named after the Singapore Tourism Board’s $45 million SingapoRediscovers marketing campaign, SingapoRediscovers vouchers are introduced as incentives to encourage local spending on the tourism industry, which has been hard hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. Why the Government offering these vouchers? Under the initiative, every Singaporean aged 18 and above will be receiving $100 in digital vouchers, given in denominations of $10. SingapoRediscover vouchers are digital credits that can be used to offset spending on domestic tourism, including hotel stays and attractions.
