The Singapore Tourism Board is launching new initiatives from 1 October 2005 to make it easier for the five million air passengers who transit Singapore each year via its award-winning Changi Airport to see the sights of Singapore.
Singapore is the transport hub of Southeast Asia, welcoming 80 of the world`s airlines with 3,900 scheduled weekly flights to more than 180 cities in 56 countries.
New Initiatives for Transit Passengers
- Bus shuttle services from Airport to Suntec City/Little India/ Parkway Parade with return transfer to the airport. Transit passengers can choose to head to the heart of Singapore with a new free shuttle service. Suntec City would appeal to those keen on city experiences, Little India for cultural buffs or those who would like to do a spot of shopping at the 24-hour Mustafa`s and Parkway Parade would be a drop-off point for those wishing to explore the East Coast and sandy beaches of Singapore.
- Tourist Day Pass For transit visitors preferring to travel and venture through Singapore on their own, they can redeem a complimentary Tourist Day Pass to enjoy up to 10 free rides on the Singapore metro and trains within a 24-hour period.
- F&B / Shower facility vouchers for use at the airport upon return after transit experience. On their return to the airport, transit passengers can choose to freshen up with a choice of a food and drink voucher or a complimentary use of the airport shower facilities. These can be collected at the Singapore Visitors Centre located at the Changi Airport arrival hall.
- Taxi Tourist Guide. Transit visitors can also engage the services of a Taxi Tourist Guide for a personalised guided tour of Singapore (this is a paid-for service).
