Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has launched an enhanced In Singapore Incentives & Rewards (INSPIRE) Global 2.0 programme to fuel the recovery of the Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions (MICE) industry in the country.

Following Singapore’s full reopening to fully-vaccinated travellers and the removal of event capacity limits, international MICE groups are back in the dynamic city. Together with a strong pipeline of events in 2022 and beyond, and STB’s continuing efforts to encourage the industry to adopt sustainability practices, Singapore’s MICE industry is expected to recover fully in the next few years.

Thus, STB has expanded its INSPIRE Global programme, wherein qualified MICE groups can look forward to new and exciting dining, attractions, thematic tours, team-building and retail experiences in Singapore. They can choose from a selection of close to 80 complimentary experiences that delegates can enjoy – an increase from 54 experiences that were introduced under INSPIRE Global 1.0.

“The business community is eager for opportunities to meet and network in-person again. This desire, as well as the recent easing of our border restrictions, puts the MICE industry in good stead to recover strongly,” said Yap Chin Siang, deputy chief executive, STB. “We look forward to welcoming more business travellers and delegates back to our shores over the next few years, and we hope that the curated experiences under INSPIRE Global 2.0 will encourage visitors to enjoy all that Singapore has to offer.”

Unique SG experiences

Qualified MICE groups will get to choose from a suite of unique Singapore experiences and see the country in a new light. STB added exciting wellness and sustainability experiences in the INSPIRE Global 2.0 programme that delegates can enjoy.
