Reopening borders a key priority: gov't

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong wants travel to resume within the year end.

Reopening travel is one of the key priorities of Singapore, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

In an interview with BBC, Lee said this will allow tourists to return to the city state soon.

"Hopefully by the end of this year or next year the doors can start to open, if not earlier," he said.

To prevent further spread of COVID-19, he suggested the implementation of vaccination passports.

However, he noted that it will take some time before international travel to return to normal, pre-pandemic levels.

"It will not be like before where you can just buy a ticket, hop onto the plane and go off to Hong Kong, Bangkok or Bali for a weekend or a casual holiday," he added.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
