SINGAPORE - Local walking, cycling and kayaking tours may now accommodate up to 10 participants, double the previous limit.

Other guidelines include limiting tours to a maximum of eight hours and using portable audio systems with individual headsets to communicate with participants during the tour. The allowance for larger tour groups comes amid a newly-launched campaign to encourage locals to prop up tourism businesses, as well as low numbers of Covid-19 community cases.

The STB told The Straits Times that it has received 47 applications so far, of which 36 have been approved to go ahead with their submitted tour itineraries and schedules."While the updated guidelines allow for increased group size and longer tours, tour operators must still comply with all prevailing safe management measures," the STB said.
