(by increasing revenue, reducing
operating costs or increasing
investment) or the improvement of
manpower quality and efciency.
There are three factors that play a
major role in affecting the productivity
of the MICE industry, namely:
growth, ination and shifts. The main
challenge facing industry growth
is the decreasing growth potential,
attributed to the emergence of smaller
rms competing on price, and also
the scaling down of events. Ination
is also rising due to increasing costs
of operation for the industry players;
across all levels, including manpower,
rental, accommodation and materials.
There are also major shifts in the
industry big players are diversifying
their portfolios while other countries
are becoming more cost-competitive
than Singapore in the MICE industry.
The dynamism of the MICE industry
in Singapore is characterised by
the manpower prole in the sector.
However, in recent years, the industry
has been increasingly dependent
on local manpower. The current
challenges facing the manpower
situation are namely: shortage
of suitable people, unattractive
remuneration packages, huge
expectation gaps and low awareness
of MICE as a career.
Yet, there is considerable potential
for improvement in the area of
aptitude and attitude, which can
lead to success. We found out that
the key inhibitors in the hiring of
local professionals were the lack
of awareness and expectation
gaps of the candidates. Finally, the
collaboration of all stakeholders
is needed to bring about such
productivity improvements in
the sector and keep Singapore
competitive in the MICE industry.

Dragon Boat Festival
(June)
Watch the annual Singapore Dragon
Boat Racing Festival held at the Bedok
Reservoir, a quick 20 minutes taxi ride east
from the city. Each year, dragon-boating
crews hailed from all corners of the world
compete for the honours in this prestigious
competition. Teams of twenty-two muscled
bodied members pit their rowing skills
furiously against one another to acquire the
ultimate glory.
Its a sport that has its roots in ancient
China, and like numerous ancient Asian
sports, dragon boat racing has a rich and
mystifying heritage. Its origins begin with
the death of the great poet Qu Yuan, who
lived in the Chinese kingdom of Chu. An
incorruptible Minister of State, Qu Yuan
apparently became so upset with the acts
of corruption within his government that
he threw himself into the Mei Lo River in
despair.
The rowing action of the dragon-boaters
thus symbolise the desperate attempts of
the village shermen at beating their oars
on the water to drive away man-eating
sh as they tried to rescue him. While
the shermen were not able to save Qu
Yuan, the tradition of throwing cooked

shows for the ultimate mid-autumn festival
experience.
Hungry Ghost Festival
(August/September)
Every year during the Lunar 7th month,
the Taoist Chinese in Singapore observe
a large-scale tradition of paying respects
to the dead as the Gates of Hell are
openened to allow the souls of the dead to
roam the earth.
The best places to watch how the
traditional rites are practiced in Singapore
are in the soul of the heartlands, where
fellow believers congregate to burn incense
sticks and present their offerings in the
form of prayer, fruits, food such as roasted
meats, bowls of rice and local Chinese
cakes made especially for the occasion.
It is a common sight to see various forms
of tentage set up in open elds during
this period. The Chinese also believe in
entertaining the spirits with boisterous
live wayang and getai performances not
only depicting tales of the divine gods
and goddesses, but also bawdy stand-up
comedy with local twang, song and dance
numbers in the various Chinese dialects
and sensually acrobatic pole dancing by
feline lithe spandex clad dancers.
Everyone is welcome to watch the show but
do not sit at the front row which is reserved
for the special guests. The festival
is so widely practised here that special
joss paper bins have been set up in all
housing estates for believers to burn their
rice dumplings or bak chang wrapped
in bamboo or banana leaves to appease
the spirits of the river continues in todays
festival activities.
Today, dragon boat racing is a more
cheerful spectacle. Show your support and
cheer as the beautifully decorated boats
splash and race across the surface of the
water, and witness a whole range of ancient
rites that are still performed, including the
showering of the dragon head of the boat
before each race.
Dragon Boat Racing is a must for all sports
fans, as it is a competitive, vigorous sport
with lots of action, thrills and spills; and is
just as ideal for great day full of wholesome
family fun and entertainment. Whats
more, dragon boat racing, with its fearsome
drumbeats, mesmerising chants and
intense camaraderie is also a joy to watch
and savour.
Mid-Autumn Festival
(August/September)
The Mid-Autumn Festival is also fondly
known as the Lantern or Mooncake
Festival. Traditionally, it is an occasion
spent with family members, similar to
Thanksgiving. It is celebrated by Chinese
communities worldwide and is the time
to enjoy the full moon an auspicious
symbol of abundance, harmony and luck.
To observe and capture the timeless
traditions surrounding the festival, head

convivial mood. The beautiful giant lantern
displays, myriad varieties of the traditional
mooncakes and traditional handicrafts will
make great subjects for photography and
add colors to your travels. For the culinary
adventurous and budding gourmands,

Hari Raya Aidiltri
(August / September)
Hari Raya Aidiltri is widely celebrated
by Muslims to commemorate their one
month of dawn-to-dusk fasting Ramadan,
prior to the occasion. For Muslims, the
month of Ramadan is devoted to worship,
charitable deeds and acts of compassion.
To purify ones body and soul, they practise
abstinence from food and drink during the
day. When sun sets, families and friends
often gather to break the fast with evening
prayers and meals. The streets of Geylang
Serai and Kampong Glam come alive with
performances and street bazaars. While
in Singapore during Ramadan, this is the
best time to soak in the festivities and
experience the Malay culture and heritage.
Head down to the Malay Village in Geylang
Serai or Kampong Glam, once home to
Singapores Malay royalty. Both ethnic
enclaves attract Singaporeans of all races,
and wherever youre from, youre welcome
to take part in the celebrations.
Besides the glittering street light-ups and
traditional decorations, youll nd street
stalls that open from early afternoon till
late into the night, selling a wide variety
of traditional food, fashion, textiles and
handicrafts. The main attraction of the
bazaars is, of course, the food. A trip to
the bazaars is simply not complete without
sampling the variety of traditional Malay
cakes and pastries called kueh kueh,
pineapple tarts, ondeh-ondeh made of
sweet potato with palm sugar lled centres,
and putu-piring, a steamed dessert served
with grated coconut.
When Hari Raya Aidiltri arrives, Muslim
families often dress in the same color to
signify their unity The men wear a loose
shirt with trousers and a brocade sarong
around the waist known as baju Melayu
and the women wear the quintessential
baju kurung. And if you are invited to
a home-cooked Hari Raya Aidiltri feast,
you will be treated with a wide variety of
spicy dishes traditionally served during the
three-day celebration, including spicy beef
rending, vegetable curry sayur lodeh
and Malay ricecakes called ketupat. And
remember to greet everyone with a joyous
Selamat Hari Raya Aidiltri.
Hari Raya Haji
(November)
Hari Raya Haji, otherwise known as the
Festival of Sacrice, is celebrated over
a period of three days by Muslims all over
the world. It commemorates the Prophet
Abrahams willingness to sacrice his son in
the name of God. According to the Islamic
calendar, Hijrah, this festival starts on the
10th day of the month of Dhul Hijja, 70
days after the holy month of Ramadan.
Practicing Muslims celebrate this

auspicious day to mark the end of Hajj,
the annual holy pilgrimage to Mecca. The
Hajj, which is currently the largest annual
pilgrimage in the world, sees thousands of
pilgrims simultaneously converge on the
Holy land to perform a series of rituals. It
is also considered the fth pillar of Islam, a
religious obligation for able-bodied Muslims
with the nancial means. It is not just a
powerful demonstration of the solidarity
between Muslim men and women, but also
of their complete submission to Allah (God
in the Islamic scriptures of the Quran).
During this public holiday, male volunteers
congregate in the mosques to offer their
prayers and reect upon the sermons
that are read out. After performing the
customary Hari Raya Haji prayers, they then
sacrice sheep, goats and cows. This act
symbolises Prophet Ibrahim's readiness to
sacrice his own esh and blood. The meat
is then packed and distributed among the
Muslim community, especially to families
who are less fortunate.
This day, which is the perfect time to
observe the ethics and practices of the
Muslim community, serves as a reminder to
share ones wealth with the less fortunate.
After a long day of carrying out customary
practices, the Muslims would then pay a
visit to their parents, families and friends
for a hearty lunch and merrymaking.
Within the city itself, you can partake in the
festivities in areas such as Geylang Serai
and Kampong Glam, where lively bazaars
and dazzling local decorations are held
to mark this important day for locals and
visitors to soak in the atmosphere.
Deepavali
(September/October)
The Festival of Lights, or Deepavali
celebrates the triumph of good over evil.
This is an exciting time in Singapore as the
local Indian community celebrates good
over evil and gives thanks to the Hindu
Gods. Deepavali is a time for rejoicing
and renewal as Hindus all over the world
celebrate the triumph of good over evil
or light over darkness. During Deepavali
celebrations, many homes will light up oil
lamps with rangolis drawn on the oor to
usher in light and good fortune.
To mark the celebration of Deepavali, Little
India on Serangoon Road is transformed
into a fairyland with an explosion of
vibrant, colourful lights and elaborate
street decorations and arches. This truly
mesmerising cultural event will include the
month-long street light-up which kicks off
with a switch-on ceremony. A host of other
events like a heritage exhibition, festive
village, countdown concert, Deepavali play
and UTSAV street parade will take place
during the festive period.
The UTSAV street parade is not to be
missed it is one of the most amazing

Christmas In the Topics
(December)
Christmas in the Tropics is a month-long
festival that takes the carnival to the
shopping strip along Orchard Road from
December to January. The season to be
jolly, even without snow, starts with visual
panoply of seasonal decorations in the
annual Christmas light up along Orchard
Road. Shopping centres like Tangs and
Takashimaya compete with each other
yearly with illuminating decorations while
other major malls like Wisma Atria, Orchard
Central and ION also put on quite a show.
Street performers take centre stage
on Orchard Road showing off feats of
gravity defying acrobatics and dance
performances. Choirs of cherubic children
can be seen and heard angelically carolling,
human statues roam around visibly
interacting with the crowds and stilt-walkers
skip about ever ready to pose for a picture
or two. The all-time favourite men in fat
red suits and white beards, impersonating
Santa Claus, bring cheers to the growing
crowd.
For fashion fans, look out for the colourful
make-shift stages which are decked out in
glittering lights and decorative baubles, all
ready for local and regional models to strut
across them in the seasons trendiest style
offerings; adding to the already bustling
festival vibe in the city.
Thaipusam
(January)
Thaipusam is a highly symbolic Hindu
festival celebrated by Singapore Tamil
Community. It is an annual procession by
Hindu devotees seeking blessings, fullling
vows and offering thanks. Celebrated in
honour of Lord Subrahmanya (also known
as Lord Murugan), who represents virtue,
youth and power to Hindus and is the
destroyer of evil, it is held during the full
moon in the 10th Tamil month, called Thai,
which falls in mid-January each year.
Thaipusam ceremony starts in the early
hours of the morning where devotees full
their vows with a 4.5 km walk from Sri
Srinivasa Perumal Temple at Serangoon
Road to Sri Thendayuthapani Temple
on Tank Road. The centre of festivities
surrounding it is a spectacle procession of
devotees carrying davadis (steel canopies
weighing up to 40 kg spiked through and
on various parts of the devotees body),
milk pots on their shoulders and other
items such as fruits and owers. These
are symbolic burdens and atonement for
past sins committed. The Lord Murugan is
also the universal dispenser of favours and
those who have made vows and pledges
also show gratitude to him by undergoing
self- mortication on Thaipusam day. The
festival is not just an exclusively Indian
affair; several Chinese devotees and people
of other races also come to full their vows
on this day.
The festival is a visual spectacle and it
often brings trafc in the city centre to
a standstill, with a colourful procession
full of chanting and dizzying rhythms of
Indian drums. The devotees are normally
accompanied by friends and family
members who cheer and offer support,
usually in the form of prayers and chants.
Witness the sacred ritual of Thaipusam
when in Singapore, a true act of faith.

Mink occupies the space previously
inhabited by Stereolab. Its accessed
through the rear exit of The Royal Room,
but youll have to step outside to use the

for entry into The Royal Room, its $28 for
entry to Mink.
Once youve made your way through the
sharply dressed throng, youll nd the
swanky hedonists haven bordered by
cushy private booths (table reservations
required), with more spacious standing
room towards the back, as well as tables
and dance podiums. With all the extra
furniture thats been added on top of

Theres a short catwalk roped off for
special dancers, and the music selection
wont present a big challenge for the
vodka- and champagne-slugging clientele;
while initially veering towards the chart-
friendlier end of current club playlists,
theres a welcome injection of classic
clubland fodder as we enter the wee small
hours which never gets as elitist as the
Japanese dance crews, LUXY girls, models,
bloggers and more.

GARDENS BY THE BAY
Located along the waterfront of Bay South
Garden, the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest
conservatories are two uniquely-shaped
glass biomes which recreate worlds of
horticulture that are not commonly seen
or experienced in Singapore. Visitors can
now experience the wonders of nature from
around the world without having to leave
Bay South Garden.
The eye-catching cooled conservatories
feature about 226,000 plants from every
continent in the world, except Antarctica,
and many of these species face the threats
of climate change and habitat loss brought
about by human activities. Through the
plant displays in the cooled conservatories,
visitors can learn more about the diversity
of nature and the value of plants to Man
and the environment.
Spanning 1.2 hectares approximately the
size of 2.2 football elds, the Flower Dome
presents a world of plants typically seen in
thousand-year-old olive trees; Kangaroos
Paw; Grass Trees which can survive in
bushres; the Baobabs which store water in
their trunks; Ghost Trees; and the Chilean
Wine Palms.
The ambience changes as one ventures
into the Cloud Forest. At 0.8 hectares, this
cooled conservatory replicates a cool-moist
climate found in the Tropical Montane
regions between 1,000 to 3,500 metres
above sea level. Examples of such places
include Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia;
and high elevation areas in South America.
In the Cloud Forest, it will be hard to take

Tourism Entrepreneur of the Year
LOH LIK PENG
Director, Unlisted Collection
Mr Loh Lik Peng was born in Dublin,
Ireland to Singapore parents who were
practicing medicine there at the time. He
attended Law school in England, University
of Shefeld and Postgraduate at London
School of Economics followed by bar exams
in London. He returned to Singapore in
1997 and practised litigation law for three
years before leaving the profession to set
into the hospitality industry. In 2001, he
seized the opportunity to enter the industry
by purchasing the 10,000 sq ft Regal Inn.
Through meticulous planning and ingenious
design, a product of Singapores heritage
was not only preserved but transformed
into a hip boutique hotel, Hotel 1929. The
hotel was awarded the URA Architectural
Heritage Award in 2003 and the project
won him the Tourism Entrepreneur Award in
the 2004 Tourism Awards.
Lik Pengs innovative concept for Hotel
1929 demonstrates an exciting fusion of
old and new. He then went on to set up the
New Majestic Hotel which was awarded
the URA Architectural Heritage Award
in 2006 and Majestic Restaurant whose
accolades include World Gourmet Summit
2010 for Asian Restaurant of the Year,
Singapores Best Restaurants Guide 2011
for Hall of Fame Award and CNNGO.com
Best Eats Awards 2010 for Singapores Best
Hotel Restaurant amongst many. JING, the
sister restaurant of Majestic, located at
One Fullerton was recently accorded Two
Stars by Wine & Dine Singapores Top
Restaurant 2010/2011.
The overseas ventures in London and
Shanghai in 2010 are yet another
demonstration of his boldness, knack of
seizing opportunities and creative reuse of
rare beauties. The Bethnal Green Town Hall,
which has stood in the heart of Londons
vibrant East End since Edwardian times, is
home to the Town Hall Hotel Apartments
after a sensitive restoration. The restaurant
and bar situated within, Viajante, designed
by award-winning architects and headed
by Chef Patron Nuno Mendes, received
its rst Michelin Star in the guides 100th
anniversary in UK less than a year of its
opening. Over in Shanghai, The Waterhouse
at South Bund is a unique boutique hotel
located on the banks of the Huangpu
River. Table No. 1 by Jason Atherton is a
destination restaurant in The Waterhouse
serving world inuenced modern European
cuisine.
Closer to home in Singapore, a totally
experimental boutique hotel, Wanderlust, is
set to draw madcap voyagers and curious
travellers to its doorstep. Located in Little
India, the building was originally an old
school built in the 1920s. The four-storey
hotel was designed by four different local
leading design rms, Asylum, PhunkStudio,
iFurious and DP Architects to give each
oor a unique look and feel. For giving the
revitalised old building a new sense of place
within the eclectic urban montage of Little
India, the project was recently awarded the
2011 URA Architectural Heritage Awards.

Breakthrough Contribution to Tourism
INTEGRATED RESORTS: MARINA
BAY SANDS AND RESORTS
WORLD SENTOSA
It was a signicant year of transformation
for Singapore tourism in 2010 with the
opening of the two Integrated Resorts.
Changing the skyline dramatically with their
iconic structures, the Integrated Resorts
represent an evolved tourism model with
the visitors perspective in mind that
todays traveller does not visit a destination
for a single purpose. He wants an
integrated experience: the ability to sample
a variety of quality cuisine, a diversity of
entertainment options, and generally being
able to combine the experience of enjoying
destination Singapore from both a business
as well as leisure perspective.
The Singapore tourism landscape is today
at its most vibrant, and the Integrated
Resorts have greatly contributed to this.
They have brought and will probably
continue to bring many rsts into
Singapore as well as the region including
world-renowned celebrity chef restaurants,
critically-acclaimed theatrical productions,
and iconic attractions such as the Sky
Park, the Universal Studios Singapore and
the upcoming Marine Life Park which is
set to be the largest oceanarium in the
world. The addition of new and unique
retail space spanning more than 840,000
square feet within both Integrated Resorts,
about 4,000 hotel rooms and increase of
180,000 square metres in MICE space, both
augments the retail and events landscape
and signicantly boosts Singapores
ability to host large-scale events. These
developments have not only raised the bar
for the quality and diversity of offerings
available but have also generated a palpable
buzz in the city for locals and visitors alike,
raising Singapores international prole and
appeal.
Singapore continues to be a great place to
do business and the boost the Integrated
Resorts have given to the economy include
the combined investment of S$12 billion in
developing the tourism sector. The spending
of incremental visitors in the Integrated
Resorts and the rest of the economy
generated an estimated S$3.7 billion in
nominal value-add in the rst three quarters
of 2010.
To date, the two Integrated Resorts have
directly generated about 22,000 jobs,
of which 70% are local employment.
Structuring the local workforce for the
delivery of these quality products required
identifying new skills needed for these
industries and broadening the scope of
education and training options, and both
Integrated Resorts have contributed to
this development by offering internships
or scholarships to the tertiary institutions
in Singapore, with the opportunity for
students to turn them into full-time
employment. The transfer of knowledge and
expertise between the Integrated Resorts
and the tertiary institutions has also been
essential in ensuring a curriculum that
remains relevant and practical. These have
helped other tourism businesses grow
their capabilities, thereby increasing the
capabilities of the wider tourism industry.
There are also signicant spill-over effects
with increased business opportunities from
construction rms to small and medium-
sized enterprises (SMEs) providing pest
control, security, laundry services and
even website design companies, with the
development of the Integrated Resorts.
For their diverse combination of offerings,
extensive business and employment
opportunities, and for providing an
integrated lifestyle experience unique to
Singapore that has been a game changer
for the tourism landscape, the Singapore
Tourism Board would like to bestow the
Integrated Resorts with the award for
Breakthrough Contribution to Tourism.

A new environmentally-friendly take on how designing more means building less
Written by Crystal Chu
Build Less
to Save More
Rather than focusing on just recycling after
building, consider cultivating a Build Less,
Save More green philosophy.
BMWs recent BMW 6 Series Gran Coup Launch
at Singapores Glass House at Sentosa Cove is a
ne example.
Before the design team began sketching, creating
a story for the launch was the priority. This evolved
into a concept about transporting guests through
space to discover the rare phenomenon of a solar
eclipse. As guests watched the moon veil the
Sun, the BMW 6 series Gran Coup would be
dramatically unveiled from the shadows.
The only build for the entire launch was an art
installation, or the transportation device,
running down the length of the ceiling, made of
a thin layer of hand-crumpled paper.
The lighted AV projection effect on the
installation was suspenseful as luminescent
lights danced down the textured surface; cutting
through the darkness and making guests feel as if
they were really moving through space.
The car was nally revealed at the end of the
room before a video-projected full-length solar
eclipse. But, if you thought the projection wall
was built you guessed wrong. This special
effect was achieved by using a glass window in
the Glass House; through a thin lm applied onto
its surface and a projector placed behind.
The smart minimal-waste design originated
from a concept that was based on a heavy-build
design, but it is something that BMW launches
have adopted for the past few years. To create
something different and futuristic, the design
team focused on developing a strong storyline
to produce a design concept consistent with the
original one of the eclipse; creating additional
twists and expanding the use of materials to
showcase the story. Instead of building physical
structures to create ambience, live music was
chosen to enhance the phenomenon concept of
the event.
In place of an actual stage, a seascape provided
a natural backdrop for the cocktail reception and
discussion area, while modular furniture was used
because they are easily reusable for future events.
The BMW 6 series Gran Coup launch denitely
set a high benchmark for Kingsmens future
events and launches.
Who would have thought less actually means more?
The contributor is the Design Director of Kingsmen Exhibits Pte Ltd, a leading communication design & production group in Asia Pacic & the Middle East.

ITB Asia, The Trade Show for the Asian Travel
Market, is returning to Singapore this year
from 17-19 October at The Sands Expo and
Convention Center, Marina Bay Sands. Now in
its fth year, ITB Asia 2012 provides a platform
for travel professionals from all over the world
to exchange new business ideas and create
genuine business leads.
ITB Asia 2011 was successfully held with an
impressive turn-out of over 7500 attendees
and close to 800 participating exhibitors from
over 90 countries. With a rm commitment
to being a key knowledge platform for the
industry, the show also delivered over 3000
minutes of high powered content with its
conference component.
Encouraged by the fantastic turnout at the
inaugural Associations Day in 2010, ITB Asia
held a successful second edition of the MICE-
focused conference dedicated to highlighting
the best practices in association event
management. Association meetings, a strong
and relatively recession proof business, have
gained importance in the Asian travel industry
and become a signicant part of travel trade.
Participants praised the quality content
presented by international panellists from
the association and supplier communities.
The event was also effective in creating
networking opportunities with regional and
international counterparts and in generating
new business leads. Association Day 2011
attracted over 100 association members
and trade partners hailing from 13 different
countries.
Last years show also saw the largest line-
up conference programme ever with the
introduction of two new conference partners,
TTG Asia and the Singapore Tourism Board.
The TTG Travel Agent Conference, the regions
rst travel agent conference organised by TTG
Asia Media, delivered practical insights and
tangible learning points that travel agents can
apply to their businesses to elevate success.
Additionally, the Asia for Asia Conference,
organised by the Singapore Tourism Board,
explored the trends of the Asian travel
industry and shared key learnings from
industry experts.
Besides these exciting conferences, ITB
Asia 2011 also introduced new discussion
forums on Loyalty Programmes, Boutique
Hotels, Women in Action and a Business
Travel Plenary Session in which industry
leaders explore relevant topics of the year.
The programmes probed into the most
relevant issues surrounding the industry,
with key players sharing case studies, rst
hand experiences and valuable insights from
the Asia-Pacic region, and beyond. Each
conference received positive reviews and
achieved strong attendance gures of 150
200 delegates.
Last year, ITB Asia also forged several new
strategic industry partnerships. The show
welcomed Hilton Worldwide as the rst
Ofcial Partner Hotel and Japan Tourism
Agency came onboard as ITB Asia 2011's
partner country.
Riding on the success of last years show,
Messe Berlin, the organiser of ITB Asia, has
announced several new initiatives for this
years event taking place at The Sands Expo
and Convention Center from 17-19 October.
The rst is the enhancement of the shows
prestigious hosted buyers programme. As a
leading platform that facilitates the exchange
of quality travel products and services, ITB
Asia has always maintained a strong focus
on the quality of buyer-seller experience and
dedicates resources to ensuring a well-
balanced mix of geographical markets and
sectors such as MICE, leisure, and corporate
travel.
This years programme will see an
enhancement in the application process with
the addition of the Group and Individual
category. Exhibitors are encouraged to
nominate buyers they would like to meet
at the show. Once approved, the exhibitors
will be given a code to invite recommended
buyers to register under the Group category.
The aim is for exhibitors to become partners
in increasing the shows quality.
With the continued growth and increasing
prominence of ITB Asia in the travel industry,
it is no surprise that the show attracts
more exhibitors each year. Overall exhibitor
bookings for this years show are also up 33%
from 2011. In addition, theres a 60% increase
in exhibitor booth space bookings compared
to last year.
Some of the worlds top international hotel
groups are set to make a strong presence at
ITB Asia 2012. Starwood Asia Pacic Hotels
and Resorts, Meli Hotels International,
Fairmont Rafes Hotels International, Hilton
Worldwide, Wyndham Hotel Group and Far
East Hospitality have conrmed bookings. Pan
Pacic Singapore has also come on board for
the rst time and will be the Ofcial Partner
Hotel for ITB Asia 2012.
ITB Asia has achieved major success and is
constantly revaluating and improving to meet
changing demands in this fast growing market.
This year, participants can expect even more
exhibitors and exciting products on display,
an enhanced buyers programme built around
quality buyers with a proven track record in
business transactions, and a dynamic world of
thought-provoking travel conferences.

INTRO:
The 10th Asia Pacic Congress of Endoscopic
Surgery, also known as ELSA 2011, was held
from 11 13 August 2011 at the Suntec
Singapore International Convention and
Exhibition Centre.
Organized by the Endoscopic and
Laparoscopic Surgeons of Asia (ELSA), over
1500 attendees, inclusive of 1200 delegates
from 38 countries attended the Main
Congress. 118 speakers from all over the
world were invited to cover the many aspects
of Endoscopic surgery under the theme So
Radical Today, So Obvious Tomorrow while
focusing on the trends of today.
PROGRAMME:
The congress was ofcially opened on 11th
August 2011 and delegates enjoyed a Lion
Dance performance as well as a fusion
of traditional dances during the Opening
Ceremony.
The programmes were also unique in two
ways. There were four national societies
participating making it the biggest surgical
congress in Singapore in 2011. They
include the Society of Colorectal Surgeons
(Singapore), Obstetrics and Gyneacological
Society of Singapore, Singapore Urological
association and the Gastroenterological
Society of Singapore. There were also special
sessions for pediatric surgery
and thoracic surgery. Another unique feature
is a one day symposium in Mandarin to cater
to non-English speaking delegates.
Participants also had ample opportunities to
improve their skills in various hands-on pre-
and post- congress workshops conducted by
world experts. There were also two plenary
lectures per day to shed light on latest
innovations that can benet doctors from
all disciplines. Symposia were aimed to be
interactive and include differing views on
various topics.
CHALLENGES:
One of the many challenges faced was
to achieved getting delegates to come to
Singapore when there are conferences
almost every month in various countries and
when news of the latest advances are readily
available on the internet. This was achieved
through good planning, good communications
and promotions, a solid scientic programme
that included good speakers and interesting
topics and an exciting social programme.
Another challenge was how the congress
managed to get sponsors in times when the
economy is not doing well as the long term
relationship of the chairperson, organizing
committee and PCO had with the industry
was critical in obtaining early commitment by
major players. Also the changed of venue from
Integrated Resort to Convention one and a
half year to the event proper so as to meet the
requirements of sponsors (Pharma Code and
corporate governance) to ensure that the
congress would have enough funds to operate
and not make losses. The PCO and organizing
committee had to re-budget and re-package
the sponsorship and exhibition package in
a short period of time in order to meet the
requirements.
The 10th Asia Pacic Congress of
Endoscopic Surgery, also known as ELSA
2011, was organized by the Endoscopic and
Laparoscopic Surgeons of Asia (ELSA) and
held from 11 13 August 2011 at Suntec
Singapore International Convention and
Exhibition Centre.
Ace:Daytons Direct was the ELSA 2011
Congress Secretariat and Housing Bureau
and designer of the concepts of the ofcial
social programmes. The creation, design and
production of the congress was supported
by Ace:Daytons Directs in-house Web and
Interactive team, Concept and Creative Team
as well as the Audio and Video Production
Team.
