SUDIPTA DEV – Singapore
With an inventory of more than 1,500 rooms, Resorts World Sentosa has opened two new hotels this year – Equarius Hotel and Beach Villas. “We will soon open Marine Life Park – the world’s largest oceanarium – by the end of the year. This would enable us to host even bigger events with our increased capacity. At the same time, there would be even more unique event spaces and venues such as the Ocean Gallery. These will no doubt give a boost to our MICE offerings and provide different experiences for returning business travellers,” said the MICE spokesperson of Resorts World Sentosa. He pointed out that the location of the resort allows business guests to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet remain a stone’s throw away from it, making other attractions and facilities easily accessible from the resort.
Given the strong presence of multinational companies in Singapore, most of the MICE clients for Resorts World Sentosa come from Singapore as well as the Asian region. “These include Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Greater China and India. We also have a dynamic and dedicated MICE team that will be able to offer comprehensive packages to our Indian clients, with global and local knowledge of different cultures, sited at the heart of Asia. Cookie cutter events are definitely not our signature,” added the spokesperson. Resorts World Sentosa has also been participating in trade shows in India to create awareness of the product and services.
Resorts World Sentosa in Singapore is one of the most unique MICE destinations in Asia that can cater to as many as 35,000 delegates at one time, and more so because of the interesting MICE options that are no where else available in this part of the world. For instance, a column-free ballroom that can seat 6,500 delegates, 37 function rooms and 20 varied event venues, Southeast Asia’s only Universal Studios theme park, and the upcoming oceanarium.
