Enhance your events in Singapore with complimentary experiences through INSPIRE Global 2.0

The recovery of the Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions (MICE) industry in Singapore is being helped by an enhanced In Singapore Incentives & Reward (INSPIRE) Global 2.0 programme.

The city of Singapore has reopened to fully-vaccinated travellers and the event capacity limits have been removed. The industry is expected to recover fully in the next few years, thanks to a strong line up of events in the years to come.

The INSPIRE Global programme has been expanded to include new and exciting dining, attractions, themed tours, team building and retail experiences in Singapore. The number of complimentary experiences that delegates can enjoy has increased from 54 to 80.

Business people are eager for the chance to meet and network in person again. Yap Chin Siang, deputy chief executive, said that the recent easing of border restrictions puts the MICE industry in good stead. We hope that INSPIRE Global 2.0 will encourage visitors to enjoy all that Singapore has to offer and we look forward to welcoming more business travellers and delegates to our shores over the next few years.
