Budrul Chukrut | Sopa Images | Lightrocket | Getty ImagesTencent is expanding its presence in Singapore — and China's a big reason. The Chinese tech giant has struck new partnerships with Singapore businesses such as ride-hailing app Grab through its digital messaging app, WeChat/Weixin. In Grab's mini-program, Chinese travelers can also choose to pay via WeChat/Weixin Pay in Chinese yuan. "Chinese travelers represented the largest group of non-Southeast Asian users using the Grab app in 2019," he added. Singapore did not tighten travel restrictions for Chinese travelers after China announced the easing of its border controls.

Singapore is welcoming them back, but a full return of Chinese tourists isn't likely in 2023, Singapore Tourism Board executives said at a press conference Tuesday. Singapore Tourism Board's CEO Keith Tan cited limited flight capacity and the speed of China's border reopening as some of the reasons a full recovery from Chinese tourists isn't expected this year. Tan told CNBC that travel recovery from China is unlikely to exceed 60% of pre-Covid levels by year-end. Unlike other countries in Asia, Singapore has not imposed new Covid-related restrictions on travelers from China. Singapore's tourism industry is expected to recover to pre-pandemic levels by 2024, according to its tourism board.
