UnionPay and STB renew 3-year deal to boost Singapore tourism spending

They will partner with banks, luxury travel platforms, and tourism stakeholders.

UnionPay International and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has renewed their three-year partnership with the aim to drive tourism spending in Singapore.

Under the partnership, the two parties will jointly launch tourism and payment campaigns targeting key visitor markets including China and other regional outbound travel segments, according to a statement on 2 June 2026.

The two parties plan to partner with banks, luxury travel platforms, and tourism stakeholders to offer perks to UnionPay cardholders visiting Singapore.

The collaboration will focus on premium travel and MIC segments.

Singapore welcomed 16.9 million international visitors in 2025, according to STB data. Mainland China remains Singapore’s largest source market.

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.
