Singapore is implementing a comprehensive tourism strategy in 2025 to enhance its global appeal, focusing on sustainability, innovation, and cultural experiences.
Embracing Sustainable Tourism
The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has introduced the Tourism Sustainability Programme (TSP) to support tourism businesses in adopting eco-friendly practices. The program offers resources and funding to help businesses develop sustainable solutions, aligning with the growing demand for responsible travel.
Urban Transformation and New Attractions
Singapore is revitalizing key areas to offer unique experiences:Wikipedia
-
Mandai Nature Precinct: Set to open in April 2025, this eco-tourism hub will feature the Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree, offering immersive stays close to nature.

Orchard Road and Sentosa: A $1 billion rejuvenation project aims to transform these areas into vibrant lifestyle destinations, incorporating interactive art installations and biophilic designs.
Boosting Tourism Through Events
Singapore is leveraging high-profile events to attract visitors. For instance, Lady Gaga’s exclusive concerts in May 2025 are expected to significantly boost tourism, with hotel bookings surging by 358% following the announcement.
Projected Growth in Tourism
The STB projects international visitor arrivals to reach between 17 million and 18.5 million in 2025, with tourism receipts estimated at S$29 to S$30.5 billion. This growth is driven by strategic partnerships and the introduction of innovative attractions.
