Nominations Open for Singapore Experience Awards 2013

The annual search for the Singapore’s tourism industry’s most outstanding individuals and organisations, has started with the opening of nominations for the Singapore Experience Awards 2013.

The awards are designed to honour individuals and organisations in all tourism-related industries, namely Attractions, Business Travel and MICE, Dining, Experiential Learning, Entertainment, Healthcare, Hospitality and Retail.

Mr John Conceicao, STB’s Executive Director of Capability & Innovation and Visitor Information & Feedback said, “The Singapore Experience Awards, at its heart, is a celebration of extraordinary experiences. As more organisations adopt an experience creation and delivery model, it is important to recognise those who have already shown excellence in this area. By celebrating these achievements, it not only serves as inspiration to others but also as affirmation that we, as experience providers, are headed in the right direction.”

Mr Benedict Soh, Executive Chairman of Kingsmen Creatives Limited, who was accorded with the Lifetime Achievement for Outstanding Contribution to Tourism at the Singapore Experience Awards 2012 added, “Today, the focus is not just on the range of services or product offers, but the holistic engagements that customers experience when they are in town. The Singapore Experience Awards challenges the stakeholders of Singapore's booming tourism industry to raise the bar and be among the best in the world.”

In 2012, 170 nominations were received for the Organisation category and a total of 16,000 nominations were received for the Customer Service category.
