With its strategic location in Asia, Singapore serves as a hub to Asia, attracting a good cross representation of delegates across Southeast Asia, China and India. Event organisers can take advantage of the increasing interest in Asia from the international business community, and attract delegates looking to access and harness the growing opportunities in this region.  Singapore also constantly strives to differentiate itself with a strong base of quality business events and programmes that complement key economic sectors which underpin Singapore’s economy. Singapore’s ongoing transformation further enhances the city’s appeal as an award-winning business destination.
The Singapore Exhibition and Convention Bureau (SECB), a group of the Singapore Tourism Board, has a mission to champion business travel and business events as key drivers of the tourism sector and enablers for industry growth in Singapore. It aims to establish Singapore as a dynamic business events destination where people, technology and ideas converge to create great value for customers. As the leading government agency for the business events sector in Singapore, the Bureau works with stakeholders to create, attract, and grow events.
Singapore is one of Asia’s main air, sea and telecommunications hubs with market access to some 3.3 billion people within a 7-hour flight radius. Positioned in the middle of the fast-growing and emerging Asia-Pacific markets of China, India and ASEAN, business travellers can easily convene in Singapore, with more than 100 international airlines flying to more than 240 cities in 60 countries and territories worldwide. Changi Airport was also named, for the fourth time, the World’s Best Airport at the 2013 Skytrax World Airport Awards.
