Staying focused with innovation and productivity while indulging the senses

Thank you to all of you who joined us at the Tourism Industry Conference in March.

We had a great turnout – almost 900 of our partners and colleagues got together to hear about the plans that we had lined up for this year. Through a series of panel discussions, the conference also provided an opportune platform for industry experts to share their opinions and insights on the latest trends and issues.

While 2010 was a fantastic year for us, the strategy for the road ahead is clear. We need to stay focused and sustain the growth momentum by creating greater value for visitors in three ways: remaining competitive, improving productivity and being innovative.

As it is, there is certainly no lack of energy from our industry partners, seeing how enthusiastic they are in stepping up to the task of invigorating the city’s tourism landscape. This month, fashion and gourmet delights take centrestage as we showcase the 15 th edition of the World Gourmet Summit and Asia Fashion Exchange 2011.

With strong industry support and a colourful calendar of events, Singapore is certainly well-positioned to remain the leading travel and lifestyle capital of Asia.

April promises to be a feast for all senses, so enjoy!

Sincerely,
Oliver Chong
