Singapore must do all it can to maintain status as global events hub
Add BT as a preferred source
SLOWLY but surely, Singapore's international events calendar - battered beyond recognition by the pandemic for much of the last couple of years - is coming back to life in 2022, and that is good news for numerous sectors of the economy, be it tourism and hospitality, food and beverage, services, retail and many others.
The biennial Singapore Airshow is on this week, but on a smaller scale than usual because of the uncertain Covid-19 situation around the world, but it's still the largest trade event to be held here since the start of the pandemic 2 years ago.
Come the end of September, the Formula One grand prix will be back for the first time since 2019, with the annual night race now confirmed for the next 7 years. There are also a number of major trade shows in the coming months, including the Singapore International Water Week in April and the World Cities Summit in August.
