A global trendsetter in corporate and leisure activities, Hong Kong’s robust economy, world-class infrastructure and facilities, international mindset, safe streets and vibrant culture make it an easy party option. The city’s comprehensive international transport connections and a wide selection of places and hotels provide visitors with world-class comfort. There is no better base to connect to the fast-growing markets of mainland China than Hong Kong. From its fortunate location on the southern tip of China, to its solid economic relationship as China’s premier international business city. Singapore has surpassed most developed economies in fully vaccinating 80% of its 5.7 million people against COVID-19, making it one of the most vaccinated countries in the world and paving the way for its reopening. Looking ahead and eagerly awaiting the resumption of travel to Singapore, we sat down with Destination Asia Singapore CEO Matthew Smith to help us get an idea of what M&I travel will look like post-pandemic in Lion City, what new travel trends we are likely to see and how Destination Asia will Singapore is preparing for the future.
Singapore has always had a unique product range that made it easy to host an international event; providing a fantastic mix of East and West in one stunning modern venue. However, I think that Singapore’s renowned caliber in delivering world best practices and exceptionally high standards when it comes to secure event management simply stands out and outperforms countries not only in the region but also globally.
Over the past 18 months, Singapore has tried various processes and event protocols to ensure we have the right solutions in place. Since these protocols have been tried and refined, Singapore has been chosen to participate in many major international events, and organizers know that the destination can live up to expectations and in a safe and professional manner, despite the ongoing pandemic.

Easy access by air to Singapore has always been a huge benefit, and this will continue to be the case as the number of international flights increases and more guests are able to fly directly to Singapore’s Changi Airport.
Destination Asia Singapore is at the forefront of innovation and security measures in Singapore. We have worked closely with the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) on many programmes; we developed video content on what our customers can expect; we have adapted all our local suppliers; we have accredited and trained our staff on a range of courses, including Secure Events Ambassadors in Singapore to offer in-house support for all our future events. We’ve also revised our product offerings and revisited our pricing structure to ensure there are no hidden costs associated with COVID-19 testing and staffing. We want the process to be as painless as possible for our clients!
Personally, I think the Singaporean government has done an excellent job. Singapore immediately deployed the TraceTogether app, which is used to track movements in facilities, stores and restaurants, so authorities can quickly bring the cluster under control and test it. At the time of writing, we are also over 83% fully vaccinated and even had the choice of which vaccine we preferred.
The government has stated that we will not return to quarantine unless the ICU is overburdened and we carefully open the borders to return to normal life. They even mentioned international events being held again, which is great to hear! We’ve started to see some of these borders open, which is a great early sign, and we’re hoping to be on track by the end of the year.

Taking off the sales cap, I can really see the partnership of international event organizers and local DMCs returning to the forefront of organizing sensational events. local suppliers and governments will play a key role in running each event from planning to execution. Before COVID-19, I noticed that this changed a bit as DMCs were seen as more operational than strategic in partnership.
Markets that have been strong all along are LATAM with many requests for high-volume events, with the UK and US now starting to really pick up the number of requests from mid-2022.
