Singapore aspires to be the Exchange Capital of the World, where great minds converge, and businesses meet with success. It is a dynamic MICE (Meetings, Incentive Travel, Conventions and Meetings) destination where the world converges to live, work and play. Singapore is also a city which provides an exhilarating mix of quality entertainment and leisure options, set against a vibrant multicultural and cosmopolitian landscape.
Our value proposition? Singapore strives to be a catalyst to business success. The government's pro-enterprise stance, its strong trade agreements with key economies in the region and beyond, and its strategic location amidst the fast-growing Asian markets all make Singapore a perfect place for any business to succeed. Our track record bears testament to hosting some of the world's most prestigious business events including the 117th International Olympic Committee Session in 2005 and the Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group in 2006. It is no surprise it has been ranked as Asia's top convention city for the past 24 years by the Union of International Associations.
New exciting tourism developments have recently taken place in Singapore: Las Vegas Sands has committed US$3 billion to build an integrated resort by end 2009, housing 110,000 sq m of meeting space, 2,500 hotel rooms, world-class entertainment in two 2,000-seat theatres, an ArtScience museum, luxury retail outlets, and unique dining venues such as the floating pavilions in the Marina Bay. The Singapore Flyer, a giant ferris wheel slightly taller than the London Eye, recently launched in 2008.
Come and visit us at the Singapore Booth at PRIME 2009 to find out more. Singapore — Where Great Things Happen. We look forward to being your partner.
