One of our favourite Wanderlust diary dates has arrived for 2022: Travel Photo of the Year - the UK's largest amateur travel photography competition. After a year off due to the pandemic, we're asking you to gather your soul-stirring photos to send them in for our judges to ponder. This year, four winners will win a trip of a lifetime to capture the magic of Singapore on camera. Postpandemic, this country is open and easy to visit, and you can enjoy quarantine-free travel there regardless of your COVID-19 vaccination status (subject to pre-departure testing for those not fully vaccinated). Here's what to expect...
Back to nature
Sustainability in Singapore is more than just a buzzword; it's a way of life. This innovative country has been blending urban living with nature for decades. The most famous example is Gardens by the Bay, a futuristic world where green foliage tumbles from metal 'supertrees' and flora from the world over thrives high in its canopies. There's also MacRitchie Reservoir Park, a pocket of wilderness in the centre of the city where you can walk an 11km rainforest trail to spy macaques and flying lemurs.
Nature awaits on Singapore's islands, too. Pulau Ubin island is located off Singapore's north-eastern coast and this unspoilt paradise provides a home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. Head to the island's Chek Jawa Wetlands to stroll the boardwalk and kayak through the mangroves, looking out for wildlife including fiddler crabs and collared kingfishers.
Wherever you are in Singapore, it's easy to make eco-friendly choices. Choose from a variety of responsible tour operators, stay in an eco-certified hotel, and make your mealtimes sustainable by eating at farm-to-fork restaurants and ordering plant-based options.
