Singapore Tourism Development Fund to get $700m boost from 2016 to 2020

It's to aid the local tourism sector's transformation.

The Singapore Tourism Development Fund is poised to see a windfall to the tune of $700m over the next five years, according to Minister of Trade and Industry S Iswaran.

“To underscore the government’s continued commitment to work with the industry to drive tourism growth, we are allocating S$700 million to a third tranche of the Tourism Development Fund (TDF) from 2016 to 2020,” said Iswaran in a speech at the Tourism Industry Conference in 2016.

Iswaran also stated that the funding is similar in scale to the second tranche of the TDF.

Further, the $700m sum will be channeled towards product development to ensure that Singapore remains a preferred destination for visitors; the technology adoption and innovation to improve productivity; as well as the enhancement of manpower capabilities to ensure that Singapore workers have the right skills to reap the benefits of industry growth.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
