Travel regulations will be also eased to encourage the mobility of people in the country.
According to Arthur Kiong, CEO of Far East Hospitality Management, the Singaporean government could ease further, especially when neighbouring Cambodia has led the way in removing all travel restrictions.
Kiong said if Singapore wants to attract more travellers, restrictions in the country should not be stricter than those of other countries./.
