We have launched a new global MICE marketing campaign, inviting event organisers and planners to see Singapore’s value proposition in a new light - as a leading MICE destination that can influence purposeful outcomes. A trusted gateway to Asia with a vibrant business environment, Singapore's commitment to innovation and a sustainable future empowers event organisers and delegates to drive meaningful change. Our global MICE campaign is set to roll out across key markets and regions including China, Europe, Indonesia, and the United States. It includes in-market trade engagements and MICE travel shows, presenting how we deliver on every aspect of the MICE experience here in Singapore. Partner us to co-create MICE events that make a difference: https://lnkd.in/dexx8A8x #PassionMadePossible #MadeInSingapore

🥂 Upwards and onwards for our Travel agents and Tourist Guiding industry!   Themed 'Elevating the Travel Experience: Accelerating Growth through Innovation,' we held the second edition of the Travel Agents & Tourist Guides Industry Forum to explore the latest trends and innovations in the travel industry.   Special thanks to our esteemed guest speakers for joining the forum: Byron Koh (Monster Day Tours), Jiao Chen and Lionel Yeo (Google), and Mitch Bach and Alan Armijo (TripSchool).   Travel agents and tourist guides play pivotal roles in Singapore's vibrant travel and tourism landscape. Travel agents are curators of travel that inspire, while Tourist guides bring the authentic Singapore story to life.   As the travel landscape continues to evolve, travel agents and tourist guides must adapt and remain agile to stay ahead of the curve. Creating value through innovation, embracing emerging technologies, exploring new opportunities, and expanding beyond Singapore will be crucial for the success of travel agents. For tourist guides, the key lies in showcasing their unique profiles and captivating audiences with creative and inspiring storytelling.   STB will continue to support this community as we collectively strive onwards Tourism 2040.   #PassionMadePossible
