Travel corridor between Singapore and Indonesia underway

Singaporeans may visit Batam Nongsa and Bintan Lagoi in April.

The Indonesian government is considering opening a travel corridor between Singapore, Batam Nongsa and Bintan Lagoi on 21 April.

Indonesian Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Sandiaga Uno met with officials in Batam and proposed a safe travel corridor between Nongsa in Batam and Lagoi in Bintan, popular travel destinations for Singaporeans.

Uno said that there is a direct route via ferry that connects Singapore and Batam.

Tourists who enter the two areas will be expected to have a negative polymerase chain reaction test result. They will also be required to take the COVID-19 breath test detector, GeNose, upon arrival.

The tourism minister said the Indonesian government also plans to launch an application that can not only trace but track the movement of tourists.

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.
