The Lion City’s appeal to environmentally conscious visitors continue to grow as more sustainability-focused events choose Singapore.

Singapore has been selected to host the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) Global Conference 2024 from 13 to 15 November 2024. It is the first time Singapore is welcoming the flagship global conference to its shores.

Singapore has hosted at least six significant sustainability-focused events in 2022. With GSTC Global Conference 2024, there are now more than five such events in the pipeline. In the coming year, STB will continue to execute its sustainability strategy to differentiate Singapore from other urban destinations and enhance its appeal to environmentally conscious visitors. Part of the strategy includes ongoing efforts to attract and nurture events that cultivate global thought leadership and gather influential stakeholders to address critical issues around sustainable tourism.

Dr Edward Koh, Executive Director, Conventions, Meetings & Incentive Travel, Singapore Tourism Board, “Global Sustainable Tourism Council’s decision to hold their 2024 Global Conference in Singapore reflects our growing appeal as a Global-Asia node for quality events with sustainability as a focus. Sustainability is a national priority for Singapore and our tourism sector. We are excited to see influential tourism stakeholders globally and in Singapore forge new partnerships and address critical issues in sustainable tourism at the event.”
