THE show must go on. And at Suntec Singapore International Convention & Exhibition Centre, it has, downturn notwithstanding.
The meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (MICE) venue hosted about 1,400 events and welcomed 6.7 million visitors in 2009, a 5 per cent increase in visitors from 2008.
All MICE sectors delivered robust growth, Suntec said in a statement. And it believes that it will do well again this year as it expects to host regular and new events.
Chief executive Pieter Idenburg said: ‘Having emerged from a challenging but fruitful year in 2009, 2010 will be significant for us. We will host several new and returning shows, with an exciting line-up of events that are paramount in their fields, such as the inaugural Youth Olympic Games.’
Events the venue is set to host this year include The Internet Show 2010, the 10th World Congress of Bio-ethics and 8th Asia-Pacific Harmonica Festival 2010.
Repeat events, such as the Singapore Garden Festival 2010 and CityScape Asia 2010, will also be held at the centre.
