Singapore 'To Good' For MICE

With a track record of hosting Asia’s most prominent events, Singapore continues to deliver innovative solutions for the transfer of knowledge, ideas and connections to drive new possibilities for the Business Travel and Meetings, Incentive Travel, Conventions and Exhibitions (BTMICE) sector.

Singapore is a smart MICE city and a country that provides a seamless business experience. The World Bank has recognised it as one of the convenient places in the world for doing business (Doing Business 2018 Report, World Bank). Singapore, geographically located at the heart of Southeast Asia's air and sea lanes and naturally positioned as a gateway between Eastern and Western cultures, is an ideal home to many of the world’s leading companies.

GLOBAL CONNECTIVITY

With a profusion of lush green foliage, glass and marble, the award-winning Changi airport is almost palatial when compared to numerous international airports. Built on a reclaimed land at the furthermost eastern point of the diamond-shaped island, it can operate 24/7. Changi is a leading global aviation hub. Singapore is linked to some 330 cities in 80 countries by 100 airlines, providing global connectivity and convenience for event attendees.

Within a three-to-four-hour flight radius, business operating from Singapore can gain access to a pool of more than 600 million consumers living in Southeast Asia. By extending that flight radius by just two more hours, business can reach the rest of the Asia Pacific region – gaining access to a market of over 4.2 billion people. Each week, about 7,000 flights land or depart from the world-renowned Changi Airport.

Events held in Singapore are well-attended by international delegates and receive a strong representation from Asia Pacific due to strong regional air links from full service and low-cost carriers.
