AS competition hots up across the region, the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and the meetings, incentives, conferences and events (MICE) industry are launching the MICE2020 roadmap to maintain Singapore's edge as a top venue in Asia.
This comes as rivals - ranging from China to South Korea to Malaysia and Australia - are investing in new infrastructure and bidding aggressively to snare a bigger piece of the MICE pie. "Development is happening very fast across the region. Everyone wants to go after the MICE business," said Neeta Lachmandas, STB assistant chief executive.
