'Bleisure' trips

Business tourists are now more open to the idea that a work trip can double as a holiday, and this has lead to the genesis and steadily growing popularity of “bleisure” trips, which combine business with leisure hence the name. Unsurprisingly, the likelihood of a bleisure trip increases with the distance between the origin and destination cities, and these travellers extend their stay in a country or incorporate sightseeing and other activities within a business day. Popular precincts in Singapore such as Orchard Road, Marina Bay, Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Glam are located near the Central Business District (CBD). This, coupled with the country’s compact size and efficient transport system, makes it a breeze for business tourists to explore Singapore to their heart's content.

On-site technology at events

The use of on-site technology, such as 360-degree content recording, video conference mobile sites and mobile apps, has now become such an indispensable component of conferences and events. As a high tech and high performance country, Singapore is home to many companies that can meet the technology needs of conferences and specialise in creating 360-degree videos, mobile phone apps, AR and VR interactive websites, and live streaming.

Team-building exercises

Adventure-based team-building activities or those with a sporting slant are set to get more popular, as these activities not only allow co-workers to learn the value of teamwork, but also enable them to share adrenaline-pumping moments together and build camaraderie as well. Many companies in Singapore offer adventure-based events, such as team-building specialist FocusAdventure, which organises activities in different corners of the city-state, such as a team race across the UNESCO World Heritage Singapore Botanic Gardens, or Pulau Ubin, a 10 sqkm island off Singapore’s north-eastern coast.

Educational Tours

Many companies are increasingly concerned about getting more bang for their buck from business trips, and to offer more value, conference organisers are arranging relevant educational or training tours out of the event venue. Singapore offers many educational tour options related to various industries, e.g. tours of Marina Barrage or the NEWater Visitor Centre for those keen on learning about Singapore’s renowned model of water sustainability. There are also tours of the Esplanade Theatres by the Bay for its architecture, as well as of the URA Singapore Gallery which offers insights into Singapore’s urban planning and sustainable living.
