New initiatives that will further boost visitor arrivals were also announced by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) such as the planned expansion of Resorts World Sentosa, recent extension of Singapore’s contract to host the Formula One Singapore Grand Prix, and several major MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions) events for 2022.
