In a bid to drive local tourism, there have been crazy deals across some of our favourite destinations — Hong Kong gave away 500,000 plane tickets for free, and Taiwan is planning to give NT$5,000 (₱9k) to their visitors.
Hopping on the bandwagon is Singapore with the global launch of SingapoRewards. It’s an incentive programme that allows international tourists to choose and experience one fun activity for no cost at all.
Starting as a pilot back in October 2022, it’s now available to all tourists in the Philippines and worldwide. The best part is that it lets you experience something memorable — no strings (or hidden payments) attached!
What Singapore experiences can I choose from?

Interested visitors can choose from a diverse list of 38 specially-curated “hidden gem” activities, which means that none of them are your “usual” Merlion and Night Safari tour.
Some interesting experiences include a free cruise dinner, biking tours and Sentosa Night Adventure Tour.

But perhaps one of the best ways to explore a new place is to go on walking tours. Unique walking tours offered on the SingapoRewards programme include a “glam Instagram tour” in Bugis for those who want to spice up their feeds, a “sustainable Singapore tour” for those who are interested in plants and trees, and a “Southern Side tour” for those who want to see the beauty of Mount Faber’s Hilltop Peak.

And those who are interested in learning how to make things might enjoy a fragrance mixology session, the coaster-making workshop, or a hands-on farm-to-table cooking experience.
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what you can get through the SingapoRewards programme. Make sure you check everything they have to offer.
