In Singapore Incentives & Rewards (INSPIRE)
INSPIRE is a rewards program that features thoughtfully curated itineraries highlighting the finest dining, entertainment, and attractions that Singapore has to offer, tailored to different market preferences. Collaborating closely with its partners, SECB has introduced exclusive packages that resonate with incentive travelers from specific markets. These specialized packages are not available for commercial purchase.
Singapore MICE Advantage Programme (SMAP)
Leveraging the collective expertise of the Changi Airport Group, Singapore Airlines Limited, and SECB in the realm of meetings and events, the Singapore MICE Advantage Programme (SMAP) has been crafted. This initiative aims to enrich the meeting experiences of event organizers and international MICE attendees. SMAP is designed to complement SECB’s existing Business Events in Singapore (BEiS) incentive scheme.
Through SMAP, event organizers can anticipate cost efficiencies, enhanced event planning, and smoother operations. Additionally, MICE delegates attending events supported by SMAP can take advantage of exclusive airline and airport benefits.
Other Non-Financial Support
In addition to offering financial assistance, SECB extends non-financial aid that encompasses various aspects. This support involves assisting in the acquisition of venues, facilitating introductions to prominent government bodies, local associations, and business collaborators. Furthermore, SECB provides marketing and publicity backing, encompassing resources like street banners, logo endorsement, and event listings featured here.
