Singapore Tourism Board unveils two initiatives to boost sustainable tourism

Tourist attractions may pursue certification starting in 2026.

The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has unveiled its Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) Attraction Criteria and the MICE Venue Sustainability Playbook initiatives to bolster sustainable tourism, aligning with the Singapore Green Plan 2030.

The GSTC Attraction Criteria is the first global standard tailored specifically for attractions, serving as a benchmark for sustainable practices. It aims to educate, raise awareness, guide policy, and serve as a basis for certifications.

Attractions may pursue certification starting in 2026 after the GSTC accredits certifying bodies in 2025. The criteria were developed with input from the STB, the Association of Singapore Attractions, and professionals in the attractions industry.

The MICE Venue Sustainability Playbook focuses on reducing carbon emissions at meetings, incentives, conventions, and exhibitions (MICE) venues.

It offers guidance on improving energy efficiency, waste management, and water conservation and includes a decarbonisation framework, best practices, and government support resources to promote sustainability.

This initiative reflects STB’s efforts towards enhancing Singapore’s position as a leading destination, recently earning top rankings in the Asia Pacific and globally for destination sustainability.

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.
