growing one and within the first three quarters of 2012, Singapore had seen an inflow of 607,000 Indian MICE<br />
travelers. Incentive travel is an important way for companies to incentivise their sta staf. Discerning Indian<br />
businesses are increasingly seeking diferentiated experiences as part of their incentive travel programme to<br />
reward top performers and drive their business objectives. INSPIRE was thus created to appeal to this growing<br />
segment by developing a selection of personalised programmes and exclusive oferings. Many of these<br />
experiences, which include complimentary incentive experiences such as dinner/lunch at Flower Dome<br />
(Gardens by the Bay) or Wildlife High Tea Encounter at Singapore Zoo, special guided tours at Singapore Turf<br />
Club and Sentosa, exclusive usage of sought-after locations and premiere seats at popular performances, have<br />
been made possible only with the participation of our INSPIRE partners. We are confident that the INSPIRE programme<br />
wil entice Indian Incentive groups to head to Singapore for an enriching, memorable time through our concentration<br />
