2023: Is travel & tourism ready for new dynamics?

ET Travel and Tourism Awards aim to recognise the most credible in the industry. The awards felicitate those doing exceptional work, out of the box thinking as well as those fighting against the wave to emerge as resilient team leaders. The contenders are from among those engaged in Tourism (International and domestic), Travel Tech companies, Aggregators, Hospitality sector, Airlines, TAs and TOs (Online and offline), Niche tourism players (cruise, caravan), MICE players and the star performers of the hospitality world. The winners are not the individuals but the companies.

The Awards strive to pick the best in the industry through a vigorous and transparent jury process. The best would be picked up following the stringent process of elimination before being chosen by a Grand Jury. Monitored by a credible external audit agency these awards are completely transparent and open for scrutiny.

At the same time, there appears to be growing anticipation of a slower winter travel, making airlines and other travel businesses adjust their pricing to cut the losses. Weather disruptions across the globe not only did affect tourism but also hammered home the point that Climate change is real and sustainability as a way of life and business cannot be pushed back.

With discussion points centred around these, the second edition of Economic Times Travel and Tourism Conclave promises to bring together countless exhibitors, speakers, and industry leaders. The event follows a number of segments, including destinations, hospitality, aviation, travel technology, travel services and much more. Whether you’re looking for networking opportunities or simply the chance to learn from some of the top travel players within the sector, this is the place to be in 2023.

Singapore Tourism Awards 2024 celebrates 27 recipients for contributions to tourism excellence

The Singapore Tourism Awards 2024 was bestowed upon 27 individuals and organisations for delivering exceptional experiences and enterprise excellence in the tourism sector. Organised by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), the ceremony was held at Raffles City Convention Centre on June 28. Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong attended the event.

Highlighting Singapore’s growth in the world of tourism, PM Wong said it didn’t happen by chance. “We invested in key infrastructure like Changi Airport. We revamped and improved our attractions—the Zoo and Bird Park are now part of a cluster of nature-themed attractions in Mandai. We strengthened our art and cultural offerings through the Esplanade, our museums,” he said.

“We brought in world-class amenities and facilities, including the Integrated Resorts. We curated a more vibrant calendar of lifestyle events throughout the year. Importantly, we worked together to make sure that the entire visitors experience is a good one – from smooth immigration clearance at the airport to having clean, green, and safe streets where visitors can enjoy themselves,” the Prime Minister added.

We've come a long way in developing Singapore as a tourist destination. It took decades of hard work and careful planning to build what we have today. Thank you to our Singapore Tourism Board officers and pioneers, as well as partners in the tourism industry. pic.twitter.com/OBvf7cVPz6 — Lawrence Wong (@LawrenceWongST) June 28, 2024

STB honoured seven recipients for the Top Awards, while 20 recipients were selected from 83 finalists nominated for the categories of Experience Excellence (Leisure/MICE), Enterprise Excellence and Customer Service Excellence. “The Awards aim to raise the sector’s competitiveness by motivating individuals and organisations to create compelling experiences and adopt best practices, so as to deliver exceptional experience and service to visitors,” an official news release stated.

Congratulating the recipients and finalists, STB Chief Executive Melissa Ow said, “Their contributions and dedication to tourism are an inspiration to others. 2024 marks Singapore Tourism Board’s 60th anniversary, and their achievements exemplify the remarkable passion and commitment of our people who have shaped Singapore’s dynamic tourism sector over the past six decades. Their success inspires new benchmarks for excellence.”

7 recipients for Top Awards

Five individuals and two organisations were honoured under the Top Awards categories.

Pamelia Lee, a pioneering figure in Singapore’s tourism scene since 1978, was conferred the Awards’ highest accolade, Lifetime Achievement for Outstanding Contribution to Tourism, in recognition of her enduring legacy. Throughout her illustrious career, spanning several decades, Lee demonstrated unparalleled vision and ambition in shaping Singapore’s tourism landscape.

During her tenure with STB, she spearheaded the development of groundbreaking projects, including the first tourism masterplan in the 1980s – ranging from the conservation of key heritage buildings like CHIJMES and Raffles Hotel, the historic Civic District and cultural precincts such as Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Gelam, to the relocation of the iconic Merlion, leaving an indelible mark on retaining Singapore’s heritage.

Ron Tan, Executive Chairman & Group Chief Executive Officer of NEON Group, was awarded Outstanding Tourism Entrepreneur for his leadership in pioneering immersive experiences through successful partnerships with renowned international studios such as Disney, Marvel, and Warner Bros.

His visionary leadership not only enhanced Singapore’s global brand positioning but also introduced a series of world-class leisure events to our tourism offerings – including Avatar: The Experience, the upcoming Impressions of Monet, and Harry Potter: Visions of Magic – further strengthening Singapore’s appeal as an attractive destination for our visitors.

Lynette Tan, CEO and Chairwoman of Space Faculty Asia, was awarded the Best Business Event Champion for her advocacy of Asia’s deep-tech sector. Her passion for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and vision for building future global leaders, led to partnerships unlocking access to top business congresses, and her successful bid for the World Robot Olympiad International Finals 2025, put Singapore on the world stage. As a member of STB’s Conference Ambassador Programme, Tan actively promotes Singapore’s strengths internationally through her extensive network.

Additionally, four recipients were each honoured with the Special Recognition award for their outstanding creativity, innovative best practices, and significant contributions to the tourism sector.

In addition to serving on the judging panel of the reality competition show MasterChef Singapore since 2018, Chef Damian has contributed to various productions and projects that showcase Singapore’s rich culinary heritage.

Changi Airport Group (CAG) played a pivotal role in facilitating the strong rebound in tourist arrivals.

In addition, CAG has consistently demonstrated excellence and dedication in innovation, service, operational efficiency and infrastructure development, including the revamp of Terminal 2, to introduce new experiences for passengers and visitors, enhancing the destination attractiveness of Singapore.

The Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group, including SIA, Scoot, Pelago and Kris+, is recognised for its exceptional contributions to Singapore’s strong tourism recovery. The SIA Group was among the first to resume services and ramp up capacity, capturing pent-up demand as air travel returned. It also worked closely with the tourism sector to raise awareness of Singapore as an attractive destination and drive exploration of all it has to offer. Additionally, the SIA Group has consistently exemplified mastery and commitment in innovation, cabin products development, service and operational efficiency, raising the profile of Singapore globally.

Recognising the best in tourism
