Resorts World puts on a show for events
SINGAPORE – Ahead of its early 2010 soft opening, Resorts World Sentosa has confirmed 30 event bookings, with the largest – the prestigious 11th World Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention from October 5-7, 2011 – expecting to attract 4,000 of the top business leaders from around the world.
Resorts World Sentosa, which includes Southeast Asia’s only Universal Studios theme park, is currently fielding more than 150 leads, with expressions of interest for events up to 2014.
The integrated resort also offers the world’s largest Marine Life Park, six hotels, a casino with a variety of Las Vegas-styled entertainment, restaurants by celebrity chefs and retail shops.
Resorts World Convention Centre has 26 function rooms and the Compass Ballroom, one of Asia’s largest column-free ballrooms that seats 7,300.
“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,” Ms Arabadjieva added.
