The Ministry of Trade and Industry and Singapore Tourism Board have carefully assessed the submitted reopening proposals and will allow the following 13 attractions to reopen from July 1, 2020

• Bounce

• Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay1

• Jurong Bird Park

• Madame Tussauds

• River Safari

• Singapore Zoo

• Zero Latency

• ArtScience Museum, Sands SkyPark and Observation Deck and Casino at Marina Bay Sands

• Universal Studios Singapore, S.E.A. Aquarium and Casino at Resorts World Sentosa

As a further precautionary measure, most attractions will be restricted to no more than 25 per cent of their operating capacity at any one time, for a start.

Access to the casinos will be limited to existing casino members and annual levy holders only.

Before approval is given for an attraction to reopen, its operator must address risks specific to the nature of its operations and adhere to the requirements, laid out in the Advisory for Attractions.

Domestic tour operations to restart

STB also announced on June 28 it will allow domestic tour operators to begin submitting their applications to resume operations, as part of the resumption of activities in phase two.

Operators must demonstrate effective implementation of safe management measures to provide a safe environment for customers and workers, and may resume operations only after receiving approval from the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI).

These proposals must include safe management measures that are tailored to reduce the Covid-19 transmission risks of each attraction or tour.

Tour operators and tourist guides can submit applications to [email protected], and may only resume carrying out tour activities after receiving approval from MTI.

They will be required to submit their tour itineraries and schedules to STB in advance, and demonstrate that they can implement all relevant safe management measures.
