Close and affordable, Singapore was one of the most popular holiday destinations for Indonesians before the pandemic. Many of us have been longing to revisit our favorite attractions and explore many new ones launched recently.

Part of the "SingapoReimagine" initiative that comes along with enhanced safety measures for greater peace of mind which will become the new standard for tourist travel to Singapore, Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and ARTOTELGroup recently announced their latest collaboration to present five exclusive and one-of-a-kind Singapore-themed hotel rooms at ARTOTEL Jakarta-Thamrin.

"STB's collaboration with ARTOTELGroup, one of Indonesia's leading boutique hotel and lifestyle groups, hopes to meet the anticipation of Indonesians eager to visit Singapore," said Mohamed Firhan Abdul Salam, Area Director of STB Indonesia (Jakarta).

"While planning for their next trip to Singapore through the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL), Indonesians can now enjoy offerings and exclusive deals to reimagine travel to Singapore through a local staycation experience that introduces the sights, foods, arts and culture of Singapore to them."

The selected theme aims to entrench Singapore as an exciting travel destination and encourage the guests to reimagine travel to Singapore soon. The five exclusive Singapore-themed hotel rooms, available from 28 January 2022, are designed according to five different passion tribes that reflect the diverse experiences in Singapore. These tribes are foodies, collectors, explorers, socializers, and culture shapers.

"We are very excited to be collaborating with STB in providing a Singapore experience that Indonesians miss. This initiative is in line with the concept of 'Different Experience', which is always prepared by ARTOTELGroup," Erastus Radjimin, Founder & CEO of ARTOTELGroup, said.

"We hope that this program can attract the interest of the Indonesian people and revive the Indonesian tourism industry in a pandemic situation, as well as improve bilateral relations between the two countries, Indonesia and Singapore."
