It's been a busy January for Singapore tourism.

Not long after we wrapped up the Christmas/New Year celebrations, we went right into preparations for the Chinese New Year festival. Chinatown is all lit up for the Year of the Golden Pig, and the Chingay Parade will be the biggest ever.

We also hosted the ASEAN Tourism Forum and the more than 1,600 overseas delegates were treated to an experience that was Uniquely Singapore.

In this issue, STB's BTMICE division's Conference Ambassador Programme champions share their views about what makes Singapore such an attractive MICE venue.

Elsewhere, read about a Buddhist festival that is coming to Singapore and why a leading doctor feels the growing spotlight on medical travel is a good thing.

Sincerely,
Ken Low
