Singapore has long been a beloved destination for Indian travellers, renowned for its family-friendly charm and a wealth of unforgettable experiences. In the wake of the pandemic, the island city has continued to evolve, offering travel enthusiasts a revitalised selection of extraordinary moments that are uniquely ‘Made In Singapore’.
As summer vacations begin, families are eager to make lasting memories through travel. In response, the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has partnered with Singapore Airlines Group, Sentosa Development Corporation, and Mandai Wildlife Group to introduce the ‘Family Playdates.
