4 things that spur hope amongst hoteliers in Singapore

The tourism board signing a 3-year collaboration with Walt Disney is one.

The Singapore Tourism Board has expressed its commitment to boost the city-state's tourism industry, much to the delight of hoteliers.

According to UOB KayHian, STB launched a number of new initiatives for the said sector, including signing a 3-year collaboration with Walt Disney. Experiential attractions and Disney-themed events will be rolled out starting this year.

Another initiative is the revitalising of the Orchard Road. Short-term plans include the closure of a road lane to widen pedestrian space, a “scramble walk” like Tokyo’s Shibuya Crossing, as well as tapping upon existing state land to facilitate street performances and the incorporation of a design incubator.

"The possibility of the complete pedestrianising of Orchard Road in the long term was also touched upon," UOB KayHian said.

Meanwhile, STB was also able to discern accommodation preferences across different markets using Big Data.

"They found that visitors from India, South Korea and the Philippines are most likely to switch hotels. South Koreans tend to round up their trip by ‘upgrading’ to a higher-tier hotel, with many choosing to stay at the integrated resorts," the brokerage firm said.

Interestingly, STB also renewed its collaboration with Changi Airport Group and Singapore Airlines. The goal is to boost attraction of Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE) travellers.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
