Pokemon Go players in Singapore now have up to 300 new locations where they can meet and capture Pokemon or engage in virtual raids, in a bid to encourage support for local tourism.

This follows a tie-up between the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and Niantic, the American developer of Pokemon Go, as part of the SingapoRediscovers campaign, STB announced in a media release on 12 November.

"As they pursue their favourite Pokemon across Singapore, we hope players will explore our precincts, discover hidden gems, and support local business, whilst staying safe and observing the necessary precautions," said STB's brand director Lim Shoo Ling.

The new Pokemon Go locations, or PokeStops and Gyms, can be found at hotels, attractions, retailers, food and beverage establishments, and tour ticketing booths across Singapore.

They are located in 10 precincts: Changi and East Coast, Chinatown, the Civic District, Joo Chiat and Katong, Kampong Glam, Little India, Mandai and Kranji, Marina Bay, Orchard Road as well as Sentosa.
