Resorts World Sentosa secures 30 events

Singapore’s Resorts World Sentosa announced this week its confirmation of 30 event bookings, despite still having its early 2010 soft opening months away.

Its largest event secured is the 11th World Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention from 5 to 7 October in 2011 which expects to attract 4000 top business leaders from around the world.

“It is an honour for Resorts World Sentosa to host the WCEC” said Tan Hee Teck, Chief Executive of Resorts World Sentosa.

“Having such an internationally-renowned event held at Resorts World Sentosa augments the confidence organisers and conference planners have in our MICE offerings”

The venue is also currently fielding more than 150 leads, with expressions of interest for events up to 2014.

“These events – some of which are firsts in Singapore – signify growth in the MICE industry, and shows the confidence organisers have in the 49-hectare Resort’s MICE offerings as a solution for companies looking for venues that provide both impact and bang for the buck” said Elena Arabadjieva, Director of MICE, Resorts World Sentosa.

“As the world’s economy recovers, we are getting strong interest from organisers for events from 2010 to as far ahead as 2014 and that gives us great confidence in Singapore’s meetings and incentive travel sector in the mid to long term”
 
Resorts World Sentosa has the ability to host up to 35,000 MICE guests at any one time and offers unique event space including one of Asia’s largest column-free ballrooms that seats 7300.

It also houses Southeast Asia’s only Universal Studios theme park, the world’s largest Marine Life Park, six hotels, a casino and a palette of Las Vegas-styled entertainment, world-class performances, restaurants by celebrity chefs and retail shops.
