Oliver Chong, executive director, Communications and Marketing Capability, Singapore Tourism Board, said: “We are pleased to recognise Marina Bay Sands for their exceptional achievement in consistently delivering outstanding experiences for business events and visitors.

“We hope that more industry players will be inspired by this recognition to create even more enriching experiences for event attendees and contribute to Singapore’s appeal as a top business destination.”

Marina Bay Sands hosted over 3,500 events in 2017, which collectively drew over 1.4m delegates, and the integrated resort has also brought in over 610 new events to Singapore since opening.

In March 2018, the integrated resort played host to YPO Global Leadership Conference (GLC) – the global platform for chief executives to engage, learn and grow. Marina Bay Sands is the only venue in the world to host YPO more than once, while Money 20/20 Asia, also held in March, is set to return to the integrated resort in 2019.
