For many US travelers, Singapore is usually a slight afterthought. The country is a popular stopover destination for travelers headed to other parts of Asia like Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, or Hong Kong.
Most people won’t bother to leave the airport before heading to their final destination. Of the people who do stay, many don’t stay for very long. They barely leave enough time to scratch the surface at all.
The Singapore Tourism Board wants to change that. They are giving travelers a chance to stay longer—for free.
To give travelers a second chance to fully experience everything Singapore has to offer, the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and Singapore Global Network (SGN) have launched the Stopover, Do-Over campaign. This initiative offers lucky winners the opportunity to return—or visit for the first time—and explore Singapore on a deeper level.
Why Singapore Should Be on Your Travel List
Singapore blends rich traditions with cutting-edge innovation, making it one of the most unique destinations in the world. From bustling hawker centers serving up Michelin-worthy street food to lush green spaces redefining urban sustainability, every corner of the city tells a story.
You can spend your days hopping between cultural enclaves like Little India and Katong Joo Chiat, enjoy panoramic skyline views from Marina Bay Sands’ iconic infinity pool, and sip on world-class cocktails in hidden speakeasies.
Beyond its dynamic city life, Singapore hosts year-round cultural festivals, top-tier sports events, and entertainment experiences—ensuring there’s always something exciting to discover.
“You’ll never run out of things to do in Singapore,” says Eileen Lee, senior vice president, Americas at the Singapore Tourism Board. “The ‘Stopover Do-Over’ campaign is an invitation for travelers to slow down, stay a while, and truly experience the depth of Singapore.”
What You Can Win
This once-in-a-lifetime campaign offers two major prizes:
- Grand Prize: The Ultimate Do-Over Trip – One winner will receive a fully customized trip to Singapore, including airfare, accommodations, and handpicked experiences tailored to their interests.
