Singapore Tourism Board will encourage more than 37,000 businesses within the tourism and lifestyle sectors to sign up for the SG Clean certification programme in the next few months.

To rally businesses and the public to uphold good sanitation standards and hygiene practices the government initiated the SG Clean campaign.

The SG Clean campaign is a government effort to rally businesses and the public to uphold good sanitation standards and hygiene practices.

The National Environment Agency began rolling out the SG Clean quality mark at hawker centres and coffee shops, with support from the Singapore Food Agency in February.

Cerrtifying establishments that experience heavy human traffic on a daily basis, such as shopping malls, hotels, tourist attractions, conference venues, preschools, schools and transport nodes will be the main focus of the quality mark.

Keith Tan, chief executive, Singapore Tourism Board, said that over the next two months, Singapore Tourism Board aims to audit and certify 570 hotels, attractions, and other tourism establishments.

It sends a strong signal to both locals and visitors should take their cleanliness and hygiene business seriously and should remain committed to maintain the high standards.
