Event Agenda

The Singapore Tourism Board is expanding its "BE in Singapore" campaign to meeting and incentive planners. Started in March, the campaign will now run until February 2010, offering groups booking a minimum of 150 visitor room nights significant financial incentives for marketing, bidding, hosting fees and support for distinguished speakers.

"Singapore understands the challenges that the meetings industry is going through, and we are showing our support and long-term commitment to a vital and dedicated group of visitors," said Kershing Goh, regional director, The Americas, Singapore Tourism Board (based in New York), in a statement. "The industry is a critical component of our destination’s tourism infrastructure, and this campaign provides substantial economic relief, while encouraging new meetings in Singapore."

The BEiS campaign also includes an overseas marketing initiative to help smaller events through a Special Assistance Scheme for Value Events (SAVE). Meeting planners looking to host an event in Singapore can also find additional deals with the STB's "2009 Reasons to Meet in Singapore Campaign," which offers accommodation and meeting promotions.
