Tourism Board signs 3-year deal with Walt Disney

The collaboration will kick off with the Star Wars Day.

Moana, Luke Skywalker, and Mickey Mouse may soon roam the streets of Singapore.

The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and The Walt Disney Company Southeast Asia announced a three-year collaboration aimed at providing unique experiences themed around Disney’s biggest brands and most popular stories and characters.

The partnership will kick off with the celebration of Star Wars’ 40th anniversary, Star Wars Day: May the 4th Be With You Festival, a three-day event that will be held at the Gardens by the Bay.

STB chief Lionel Yeo said the partnership will add vibrancy to their existing events laid out for the whole year. He said this will attract visitors from across the Southeast Asia region and beyond.

"The multi-year activations will profile our attractions and precincts in Singapore, beginning with Gardens by the Bay for the Star Wars festival held in May. Our collaboration with Disney will also offer plentiful opportunities for local event organisers and SMEs to grow their businesses and enhance their capabilities in world-class branded entertainment events," he added.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
