As part of our ongoing efforts to improve and streamline digital services for the tourism industry, the Tourism Information and Services Hub (TIH) will be discontinued on 31 July 2025. This decision aligns with our commitment to providing the most relevant and efficient services to visitors and industry partners.
13 January 2025: All users and industry partners will be informed about the upcoming sunset of TIH.
30 May 2025: This is the last day to upload, edit, and delete content on TIH.
30 July 2025: TIH's last day of service.
31 July 2025: TIH will officially cease operations.
Q3 2025: A new media repository platform will be launched, allowing for downloads of media assets.
While most TIH features (tourism offerings, business directory, API integrations) will be discontinued, one key feature - media assets for STB and Industry's use - will be maintained. All other TIH functionalities will not be replaced. STB is currently working on a new media repository that will be introduced in Q3 to continue serving the industry's need for high quality Singapore destination media assets. The new media repository will not allow uploads by the industry due to low industry contributions and a high demand for STB-owned media assets.
Your account information will be securely and fully deleted from our databases.
No action is required on your part. Your account will be automatically closed as part of the sunset process.
The new media repository will be open to public with no login required. As such, your user profile on TIH is not necessary and will be deleted.
If you require CorpPass to transact with other Government services, you do not need to delink your CorpPass with your SingPass. You may want to approach your company's CorpPass admin to confirm.
Tourism offering content you've contributed will be deleted from TIH.
Media asset content you've contributed will be retained, curated and migrated to our new platform. They may be retained by STB for publishing on our new media repository and/or other STB channels. Retained media assets will maintain the same global, perpetual usage rights. If you are agreeable for STB to continue using your media assets after 31 July, no further action is required on your part. However, if you prefer not to have your media assets migrated to our new platform, please remove your media assets by 30 May 2025.
No, you will not be able to access or download your contributed content (Excel/csv) after 30 July 2025. Currently, there is no direct way to download such information from the platform. We recommend saving any important data before this date to ensure you have a copy of the information and details you have uploaded onto the platform.

Contributions to TIH will no longer be accepted from 30 May 2025.
