After months of being cooped up at home, we could really use a change of scenery. However, while countries are starting to reopen, the return of worry-free travel will still take a while.
But we’ve got a reason to rejoice β hotel staycations are back! With new safety measures and hygiene standards, a staycation in Singapore will let you unwind with peace of mind.
