The Singapore Tourism Board was conferred three awards at the TravelWeekly (Asia) Industry Awards 2008 ceremony held at Bar None, Marriott Hotel Singapore, last Thursday evening (17 July).
Pitted against the best of the best from around the region, the STB emerged triumphant in the Best National Tourism Organisation category. Singapore also picked up the top honours in the Best Business & MICE Destination and Best Medical/Wellness Destination categories. Celebrating exemplary achievements in the tourism industry, the TravelWeekly Awards was established to recognise the finest of Asia’s tourism industry players. The winners were chosen by the public through an online voting process which attracted an unprecedented number of votes this year. At the awards ceremony, Singapore was also recognised as the Best Business & MICE Destination for catalysing business success for business event organisers and business travellers. Recent key milestones in the Singapore MICE industry include the hosting of the largest corporate meeting, the 2007 Herbalife Asia Pacific Extravaganza in July 2007, which drew 16,000 Herbalife delegates from 14 countries in the Asia Pacific region, and the successful inaugural staging of Singapore Airshow, Asia’s largest aerospace and defence event.
