STB Eases Restrictions for Tour Operators, Allowing Larger Groups and Longer Itineraries

The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) will implement eased restrictions for tour operators starting Wednesday, April 14, permitting larger group sizes for specific tour types and removing previous time limitations. These changes aim to facilitate a broader resumption of tour operations following broader governmental adjustments to community safety measures. Previously approved operators and guides will also benefit from a streamlined application process.
Increased Participant Numbers for Certain Tours

The number of participants allowed for walking, kayaking, and cycling tours will be increased from 20 to 50. This significant rise in capacity is part of a broader relaxation of measures, aligning with the government's announcement on March 24 regarding the easing of community safety measures.
Removal of Eight-Hour Tour Limit

The previous restriction limiting tours to a maximum of eight hours will be lifted. This change allows for more comprehensive and extended tour experiences, offering greater flexibility for both operators and participants.
Continued Safety Protocols for Sub-Groups

Despite the increase in overall group size, participants will still be required to be divided into sub-groups of no more than eight people. A minimum distance of 1 metre must be maintained between participants, and these sub-groups are prohibited from intermingling with one another to ensure continued safety.
Streamlined Application Process for Operators

Tour operators and tourist guides will no longer need to seek individual approval for each tour itinerary. Instead, they can apply to the STB to resume tour operations under a single, consolidated application. Tour operators and guides who had already received prior approval from the Ministry of Trade and Industry will not be required to reapply.
