THoD Newsdesk, Singapore: The Singapore government officials on Tuesday, stated that they will now open a new segregated travel lane for a limited number of businesses, official and high economic value travellers from all countries. This new scheme is an effort to revive the country’s key travel and hospitality sectors.
As yet, Singapore has shelled out billions of dollars in a bid to shield its economy from its worst-ever situation and the authorities are also trying to resume international travel, in view of the upcoming World Economic Forum’s annual gathering of political and business leaders, next year.
The first batch of travellers will be able to enter the country from the second half of January through the new lane, which will be open to those who are coming for short-term stays of up to 14 days, the ministry of trade and industry said in a statement. It will correspond to the other arrangements that Singapore has come up with, for business travel including with China, Germany and Indonesia.
Travellers under the banner of the new arrangement will have to stick to stringent health and testing protocols and will need to stay within a “bubble” at segregated facilities. Although meeting locals is allowed, there will be a floor-to-ceiling divider separating both the parties.
