About Us
The Society of Tourist Guides (Singapore) (STGS) was established in 15 Oct 2003 during the SARS pandemic to serve as the voice for tourist guides in times of crisis. Since then, we have worked closely with the Singapore Tourism Board and industry partners to uphold the professionalism of tourist guides and promote Singapore’s rich heritage. With over 400 active members, STGS provides training, familiarisation tours, and professional development opportunities to ensure our guides excel as tourism ambassadors. Additionally, our wholly owned travel agency, STGS Tour Pte Ltd, offers guided tours tailored for schools, new citizens, and visitors. Through advocacy and strategic partnerships, we continue to support and elevate the guiding profession in Singapore.
