THE LION CITY: SINGAPORE

Recognised as Asia’s top convention city in the 2011 International Congress and Convention Association city rankings, Singapore continues to be a roaring success in the MICE industry.

Located in Southeast Asia, Singapore has a land area of 710skm, making it one of the smallest countries in the world and the smallest in the region. Although small in size, the Lion City, as it is affectionately known, held 142 ICCA qualifying meetings in 2011 to top the Asian city 2011 ICCA rankings, as well as topping the Union of International Associations (UIA) global rankings in 2011.

Singapore rose to the top position from third in the 2011 UIA country rankings, replacing the US, and maintained its place as the top international meeting city for a fifth consecutive year.
