Stamps For Tourists |
|
New personalised stamps available
to visitors at Changi Airport Terminal 2 (Departure) and Suntec Duck
Tours Counter on-the-spot |
|
 |
|
|
Singapore Post (SingPost) today officially
launched a new product, the first of its kind, called MyStamp Tourists.
SingPost soft-launched these unique personalised stamps catering to tourists
at Changi Airport Terminal 2 (Departure) on 1 May 2005. |
|
SingPost has now partnered the Duck Tours as its
first Attractions Partner to offer this souvenir to Duck Tours customers. |
|
With the aim of promoting tourism, SingPost has
also worked closely with the Singapore Tourism Board to introduce MyStamp
Tourists. My Stamp Tourists, part of SingPost¡¯s MyStamp range, is a set of
stamps featuring iconic Singapore attractions along with personal photos of
the tourists produced on-the-spot. |
|
Purchase of MyStamp Tourists can be made instantly
at Changi Airport Terminal 2 (Departure) and Suntec Duck Tours Counter. The
photo-taking and printing of the stamps will be processed on-the-spot. |
|
Customers have the option of keeping the four or
five stamp strips in an A5-sized sheet as a souvenir or tearing out the stamp
strips as postage for their mail or postcards. (The portion of MyStamp
Tourists with ¡°Singapore¡± and a face value is considered a valid postage stamp
on its own.) Each sheet of four or five stamps costs S$15 with packaged frame
or folder and free souvenir envelopes. |
|
SingPost¡¯s Executive Vice President of Postal
Services and Administration, Mr William Tan Soo Hock, said: ¡°SingPost is
always looking for novel ways to make stamps more interesting, enhancing the
appreciation of philately in Singapore and beyond our shores. With our MyStamp
product, we believe we have found an opportunity to enable our customers to
have their stamps customised to their tastes. Now, just as tourists travel the
world, our new MyStamp Tourists will journey around the globe as a mini
ambassador, showcasing Singapore¡¯s unique facets to people both near and far.
We hope that visitors to our country will like this novel Made-in-Singapore
souvenir and that their friends and family will enjoy the novelty of receiving
photos of their loved ones on their mail.¡± |
|
In support of the launch of this product,
Singapore Tourism Board¡¯s Ken Low, Acting Assistant Chief Executive (Brand &
Communications), said: ¡°MyStamp Tourists is a personalised souvenir that not
only captures happy memories but is also a novel way of bringing a little
unique piece of Singapore to all corners of the world. We hope friends from
all over will be inspired to visit and experience Singapore once they receive
this gift of a stamp.¡± |
