Travel corridor between Singapore and Indonesia underway

Singaporeans may visit Batam Nongsa and Bintan Lagoi in April.

The Indonesian government is considering opening a travel corridor between Singapore, Batam Nongsa and Bintan Lagoi on 21 April.

Indonesian Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Sandiaga Uno met with officials in Batam and proposed a safe travel corridor between Nongsa in Batam and Lagoi in Bintan, popular travel destinations for Singaporeans.

Uno said that there is a direct route via ferry that connects Singapore and Batam.

Tourists who enter the two areas will be expected to have a negative polymerase chain reaction test result. They will also be required to take the COVID-19 breath test detector, GeNose, upon arrival.

The tourism minister said the Indonesian government also plans to launch an application that can not only trace but track the movement of tourists.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
