World Express at ITB Berlin 2023 last week - what a time!

Great to see the travel industry converge in real life for this event, especially after nearly 4 years of hiatus.

Q4 2022 marked the re-opening of the long haul international cruise market in Singapore and many ports in Asia.

World Express welcomed guests from Cunard, Oceania Cruises, and Viking amongst other cruise lines in the past month, providing shore excursion and turnaround services in Singapore. Capacity on board the ships were high, signaling a true recovery in the international cruise market.

One of the tours that we operated for our cruise guests was the Panoramic Singapore Tour. As part of our Panoramic Singapore Tour, guests got the chance to drive through iconic districts - zipping through spots such as Boat Quay, Little India, Chinatown and Orchard Road - for a panoramic view of Singapore before concluding the session at a local coffee shop and sampling kopi for a local experience.

We were delighted to attend the MICE Sustainability Summit, hosted by Singapore Tourism Board and Saceos Singapore last week. The opening address by Minister of State for the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, and the Ministry of Trade & Industry, Mr Alvin Tan 陈圣辉 along with the insightful panel talk involving key stakeholders in the industry shed valuable light on Singapore’s path to position itself as one of the most sustainable MICE destinations in the region.

A green event indeed - air-conditioning was crossed out, minimal plastic and paper products were in sight, our lunch course comprised of only sustainably and ethically sourced ingredients. Substance was not compromised.

The highlight of the Summit was the unveiling of the Singapore MICE Sustainability Roadmap, which demonstrated the crucial need for all parties in the MICE eco-system to come together and deepen our competencies as we work towards a more sustainable future for our industry. We are still learning but feel optimistic to have a community here invested in paving the way for more responsible business travel and events 🌱
