These tourism vouchers undoubtedly give locals an incentive to rediscover their backyard, but to what extent will it help boost the ailing tourism industry?
Richards Lee, Vice President of Operations (SEA) of Millennium Hotels and Resorts, is confident that it will have a “positive impact” on tourism.
Some of their hotels like Orchard Hotel and M Social have already seen an increased interest in their staycation packages since they opened doors to the public.
Samuel Tay, founder of axe-throwing range Axe Factor, echoes Richards’ sentiment, adding that Singaporeans will most likely spend the vouchers on staycations and local attractions.
“Staycation is one thing that Singaporeans, especially the millennials, would love. It’s like a small getaway for them,” he reasoned.
“Attractions would be the next in line, as nowadays people are more into buying experiences than material stuff. So with these vouchers, it will give them an opportunity to lower the cost of the activities and stays.”
