Changi Airport Group (CAG), Singapore Airlines (SIA) and Singapore Tourism Board (STB) have announced that they will take an ongoing joint partnership, aimed at promoting inbound travel to new heights by jointly investing $33.75 million under a renewed three-year partnership.
This is the highest-ever amount to promote Singapore as an attractive stopover and twinning destination. Twinning is travelling to two destinations on one itinerary; an example would be pairing a city destination with a beach getaway, destination.
In a joint statement, they stated that the partnership’s joint marketing efforts will focus on promoting Singapore as a stopover or twinning destination to travellers globally. This augments the previous approach of only targeting travellers from specific long-haul markets such as the USA and Europe.
Another focus area for the partnership is the broadening of a marketing program to woo business and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions) visitors.
The partnership will also refresh the Free Singapore Tour (FST), which provides transfer passengers with a free taste of Singapore’s offerings. FST will be expanded to include more authentic experiences curated based on travellers’ interests, such as a foodie tour where participants get to sample a popular local delight.
According to the statement, the Free Singapore Tour has been well-received, pulling in 59,000 passengers last year, up 8 percent from the previous year. As of April 2017, it was rated as one of the top ten tours on popular travel website TripAdvisor’s “Top Tours in Singapore”.
Changi Airport Group’s Chief Executive Officer Mr Lee Seow Hiang said, “By collaborating closely with airlines and the travel industry, we can grow passenger segments, such as MICE and transfer passengers. With encouraging results from the current partnership, this second collaboration strengthens all parties’ efforts to raise awareness of Singapore as a stopover point and as a destination.”
“We look forward to continue working with SIA and STB, leveraging on our strengths to pursue sustainable traffic growth in an increasingly competitive landscape,” he added.
“This partnership reflects Singapore Airlines’ commitment to further developing our home base at Changi Airport and promoting Singapore as an exciting tourist destination. We are delighted to build upon our cooperation with STB and CAG, and leverage the SIA Group’s strengths to increase inbound travel to and through Singapore,” said Singapore Airlines Chief Executive Officer, Mr Goh Choon Phong.
Mr Lionel Yeo, Chief Executive, Singapore Tourism Board, said, “STB’s collaboration with CAG and SIA is a prime example of how we partner with industry players for tourism success. This partnership between our airport, national carrier and national tourism body is a powerful one that has helped to boost Singapore’s tourism growth in the recent years.”
“The renewal of this partnership reflects our confidence that we can continue to cooperate fruitfully to better serve our visitors and drive tourism outcomes,” he said.

记者质问新马领导对假新闻法立场 敦马:人民要我们废除

李显龙总理在马来西亚出席第九届新马领导人非正式会议,早上同马国首相马哈迪举行双边会议,而两人率领两国代表团举行会议后,在中午召开联合记者会。 记者会上,马国网络媒体《当今大马》记者,对两国领导抛出辛辣课题,针对新加坡近期将推行《防止网络假消息和网络操纵法案》,询问李显龙和马哈迪的立场。 记者质问,防假消息法遭到新加坡国内外人士质疑,包括”无国界记者“组织也抨击新法案可能赋予政府过大权力;反之,马国走完全不同路线,反而有意要废除前朝政府通过的《反假新闻法》。 李显龙对此则表示,不清楚马国《反假新闻法》具体内容,但可能和新加坡的防假消息法会有所不同。 他强调,网络假消息都是多国面对的严重问题,不止新加坡,德国、法国和澳洲都有立法对付,连英国也考虑透过司法管制网络假消息。 他解释,新加坡立法前有经过漫长的过程,成立特选委会听证和咨询,希望能在国会通过。 ”对于无国界记者的批评我不感意外,他也对我国的媒体管制诸多意见,但我们的目的,是落实能在新加坡可行的方针。“ “限制言论法恐遭滥用” 至于马国首相敦马则回应,废除假新闻法是希盟政府竞选承诺之一,“这是人民要的,我们尊重投选我们的人民的声音。” 他不排除社交媒体确实会被滥用,但马国选择接受挑战,学习如何应对处理。 他也表示,如果制定法律限制人民的表达意见,恐怕该法也可能被政府滥用,就如马来西亚的前朝政府一样。 “政府自己也可能制造假新闻,来保障自己的政权。”
