As part of Singapore’s “decisive step forward” towards living with COVID-19, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced yesterday the latest easing of measures which include raising of capacity limit for larger events to 75 per cent with effect from 29 March 2022.

 

Together with the MICE and Events industry, SACEOS is greatly encouraged by the major step towards the return of a vibrant industry and will continue to work with the relevant agencies to support the resumption of events in Singapore.

Singapore’s MICE and Events industry has leveraged the pandemic downtime to transform their businesses, build new capabilities, and create innovative solutions for a strong recovery. SACEOS will continue to work closely with the industry and Government to lead the way in reimagining the format of MICE events, setting Singapore apart as the world’s leading destination for safe international MICE events.”
