More than six in 10 Singaporeans who received their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers , or about 1.9 million people, have used their vouchers at least once by the end of the scheme in December last year.Close to $300 million in SRV transactions were recorded, comprising nearly $180 million in vouchers and about $120 million in out-of-pocket payments for SRV bookings.
To save the struggling tourism industry, about $320 million in the form of $100 worth of vouchers were given to each Singaporean aged 18 and above to spend on hotels, tours and attractions. About three million people received their vouchers at the start of the scheme in December 2020. It was originally slated to end in June 2021 but was given a six-month extension till Dec 31 last year.
STB said the scheme had provided much support for local tourism businesses during this challenging time.
