SINGAPORE – Discounts and deals at Singapore’s various tourist attractions have been rolled out as part of SG60 celebrations.
The deals, which will be offered by 23 local attractions, are for both Singaporeans and permanent residents.
They were announced by Minister of State for Trade and Industry Alvin Tan on March 6 in the debate over the Ministry of Trade and Industry’s 2025 budget.
SG60 is a nationwide effort to celebrate the next chapter of Singapore’s growth after 60 years of independence in 2025.
The new SG60 discounts announced for 2025 will span different attractions, including Kiztopia, Bird Paradise, Trickeye Singapore and Science Centre Singapore, Mr Tan said.
One of the promotions is for Gardens by the Bay, which will launch an exclusive SG60 Wonder Blooms Pass for Singapore residents to enjoy over 60 per cent discount on unlimited visits to six upcoming floral displays in the Flower Dome.
Another promotion is for Mandai Wildlife Reserve, which will also offer exclusive deals across its parks, such as for Bird Paradise, where one child can enter free for every paying adult.
These deals will begin launching on the SG60 website from March 6.
The exclusive homeporting of the Disney Adventure cruise ship in Singapore will also start in December, making it the first Disney Cruise Line ship to do so in Asia, said Mr Tan.
He added that many new cruise ships will be calling in Singapore, including Resorts World Cruises’ Star Voyager and the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s Luminara, from 2025 onwards.
He said that more live concerts have also been planned for the year.
“This year, we already have a few top acts, including K-pop boy band Seventeen in January,” said Mr Tan, adding that more acts will be performing in the Republic in 2025, such as Stefanie Sun, Kiss Of Life and K-pop boy band BTS’ J-Hope.
Singapore’s integrated resorts are also set to unveil tourism offerings as part of their expansion plans. These include Illumination’s Minion Land, which opened in time for the March school holidays, and the Singapore Oceanarium opening later in 2025, following a rebranding. The oceanarium will be three times the size of the current SEA Aquarium.
In his speech, Mr Tan also said that international visitor arrivals to Singapore are expected to reach between 17 million and 18.5 million in 2025, bringing in approximately $29 billion to $30.5 billion in tourism receipts.
In 2024, the Republic welcomed 16.5 million international visitor arrivals, while tourism receipts for the first three quarters of 2024 hit a historic high of $22.4 billion.
This was driven by live concerts by Taylor Swift and Coldplay, as well as international events like the Singapore Airshow, he said.
