Singapore most preferred city for international meetings

Guess which other countries made it to the top 10 list.

Within the global MICE industry, Singapore is a market leader. According to the Union of International Associations, Singapore accounted for the most number of international meetings among all the cities in the world for 2011, and Singapore had a substantial lead over the runner-up Belgium.

According to DBS Vickers, visitors to Singapore for MICE events fall under the Corporate category of hospitality guests. The STB estimates that a third of the 13m visitor arrivals in 2011 were attending business events. 

"Given the economies of scale available because of its dominant position, the MICE industry in Singapore should continue to grow, and hospitality establishments should see increasing numbers of Corporate guests," said DBS.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
