Private Estates, Industrial Lofts and Unique Venues in Singapore you need to see!

Singapore is a gold mine of business hub and has been for decades. With the high traffic of international visitors along with working professionals, it comes to no surprise that their go-to places for meetings, exhibitions, seminars or luncheons just would not suffice any longer. Evidently, corporates are often on the lookout for unique spaces to bring their clients over to score that winning pitch or just have a comfortable brunch. No longer are the traditional hotel venues in demand. Firstly, the cost they incur and secondly, their rather standard interior with carpeted flooring and tall, luxurious chandeliers hanging from their vaulted ceilings. Don’t miss out on these Private Estates, Industrial Lofts and Unique Venues in Singapore you need to see!

For formality sake, according to Singapore Tourism Board, tourism receipts rose by 3.9% in 2017. Might not seem like a lot at first, however, that is a whopping $26.8 billion in figures. It was the second consecutive year of record tourism performance. Consequently, the Business Travel and Meetings, Incentive Travel, Conventions and Exhibitions (BTMICE) industry swelled up by 4% in the first three quarters of 2017. This year’s predictions are more promising than not with an estimation increase in tourism receipts and visitor arrival.

Therefore, it is highly likely that there will be an inexorable demand for offbeat venues that still showcase the beauty within Singapore. That being said, if you clicked on the blog to get a list of these spaces, let’s get on to it!
