About the Society of Tourist Guides (Singapore)
The Society of Tourist Guides (Singapore) is a not-for-profit, independent organisation established by guides, for guides. We are united by a shared commitment to professional excellence, peer support, and the long-term sustainability of Singapore’s guiding community.
Our members—drawn from across the island—contribute their time, expertise, and resources not for personal gain, but to uplift one another, advocate for fair industry standards, and safeguard the integrity of our profession. We believe that membership is not a transaction, but a meaningful investment in a collective future.
As one of the few independent organisations dedicated solely to the advancement of tourist guiding in Singapore, STGS actively engages with government agencies, regional networks, and international federations. We work to ensure that Singapore’s guides are recognised, respected, and equipped to thrive in a rapidly evolving landscape.
If you believe in solidarity, in shaping the future of guiding, and in being part of something greater than yourself—this is your Society.

Community Matters: The STGS Support Network
Tourist guiding is rich in stories, but for many freelancers, it can often feel like a solitary path. Without the structure of an HR department or the daily presence of colleagues, guides may find limited opportunities to seek support, share concerns, or simply connect—especially without fear of judgement.
This is precisely why community support is essential. At STGS, we believe no guide should navigate the journey alone. Whether through alumni networks, language-based groups, or shared-interest circles, finding your community can offer encouragement, deepen professional relationships, and bring renewed purpose to your work—beyond the guiding fee.
The STGS Guides Exchange is one such initiative - a vibrant peer-led WhatsApp community where tourist guides connect online. With nearly 800 guides and growing, it’s a trusted platform to share insights, swap tips, and build genuine camaraderie.
We invite you to be part of this supportive ecosystem—because together, we are stronger.
