Singapore most preferred city for international meetings

Guess which other countries made it to the top 10 list.

Within the global MICE industry, Singapore is a market leader. According to the Union of International Associations, Singapore accounted for the most number of international meetings among all the cities in the world for 2011, and Singapore had a substantial lead over the runner-up Belgium.

According to DBS Vickers, visitors to Singapore for MICE events fall under the Corporate category of hospitality guests. The STB estimates that a third of the 13m visitor arrivals in 2011 were attending business events. 

"Given the economies of scale available because of its dominant position, the MICE industry in Singapore should continue to grow, and hospitality establishments should see increasing numbers of Corporate guests," said DBS.
