MICE events shelved due to virus outbreak fears
Singapore
TRAVEL restrictions and other concerns stemming from the coronavirus outbreak are dealing a blow to Singapore's meetings, incentive travel, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) scene, as some organisers on Tuesday announced cancellations or postponements of upcoming events.
The National Association of Travel Agents Singapore (Natas) postponed its annual travel fair to May 1 to 3, after exhibitors expressed concerns that turnout could be low if the event went ahead on Feb 21 to 23. It will still be held at the Singapore Expo.
