Sweet staycation deals you don’t want to miss

Singapore Tourism Board has given the green light for certain hotels to reopen and to promote staycations. The catch? The approved hotels must adhere to strict health and safety protocols to ensure the well-being of their guests and colleagues. Roaming the world is not an option for many globetrotting Singaporeans but perhaps it is a good time to explore new neighbourhoods and find some secret spots of your own. Have we mentioned that the staycations also come with attractive deals and sweet adds-on?
