SingapoReimagine Global Conversations is a thought leadership series that assembles influential business leaders and industry representatives from Singapore and beyond to share their perspectives, exchange ideas and stimulate conversations and collaborations. It is a key part of Singapore Tourism Board’s SingapoReimagine tourism recovery initiative, which was launched last year to affirm the destination’s commitment to shape a new standard for travel, through safety, technology, experiences, and sustainability.
The Singapore Tourism Board and News 18 Network are proud to host the first edition of the ‘SingapoReimagine Global Conversations: Shaping The Future Of Travel’ in India on the 17th of August, 6:30 pm at Taj Santacruz Mumbai. This forum aims to catalyse discussions on how to reshape global travel with the rise of slow, and tech-enabled travel, the global drive towards sustainability and wellness, and the vastly emerging customer segments among the Millennials.
