TravelRevive has opened at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre. Leading the way with rigorous protocols and innovative solutions for the end-to-end visitor journey, TravelRevive is the first pilot tradeshow to trial the newly developed ‘hybrid event’ tradeshow prototype for safe business events, safe itineraries, and digital enablers in Singapore. This is part of a public-private collaboration under the Emerging Stronger Taskforce (EST)’s Singapore Together Alliance for Action (AfA) on Enabling Safe and Innovative Visitor Experiences.

TravelRevive is the first international travel tradeshow to take place physically in the Asia Pacific during COVID-19, with both local and foreign attendees and exhibitors. A total of close to 1,000 local and international attendees will come together on-site over the next two days to exchange ideas, bridge knowledge gaps, and reimagine the future of travel.

Alongside TravelRevive, STB, International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE), and the Singapore Association of Convention & exhibition Organisers & Suppliers (SACEOS) will also co-organise the IAEE Asia Hybrid Forum and SMFX x MICE Connect Forum on 26 November 2020.

These events are specially curated, with panel discussions, masterclasses and updates on the Industry Resilience Roadmap, a joint initiative between STB, ESG and SACEOS. Attended by local stakeholders as well as ASEAN and global MICE associations, both events are platforms for ideas and knowledge exchange to reimagine the future of MICE events.

Besides live sessions, TravelRevive features on-demand components that are accessible to delegates joining via the ITB Community in Asia online platform too.

Enhanced safety measures for all

Various measures have been taken to ensure the safety and well-being of attendees at TravelRevive, including:

  • Safe management measures for every stage of an event attendee’s journey (pre- to post-event).
  • Crowd density control and cohorting of attendees.
  • 18sqm booths complemented with 9sqm meeting pods that are equipped with protective plexi-glass to facilitate safe one-to-one meetings between exhibitors and buyers. The use of TraceTogether to facilitate contact tracing for international visitors.
  • The launch of an online diary mobile app to safely arrange one-to-one meetings between exhibitors and buyers.

To prepare Singapore for the phased resumption of leisure travel, STB has also been working closely with industry stakeholders to establish a framework to guide tourism businesses, including travel agents, in developing safe itineraries.

Safe itineraries have been specially curated for all delegates to offer them an assurance of safety, and cater experiences that are authentic, bespoke and personalised. These include virtual tours with hands-on activities that delegates can participate in from their hotel rooms, private museum site visits, and even a guided site visit to a Kelong (an offshore wooden platform used primarily for fish farming).

Changi Airport Group (CAG), under the auspices of the AfA on Enabling Safe and Innovative Visitor Experiences, has also developed a working prototype called the Safe Travel Concierge (STC). This is an online tool to help travellers manage their visits by customising a travel checklist of pre-entry requirements to fulfil before entering Singapore, from the SafeTravel Pass application to the swab tests conducted at the airport. The STC will also help guests remain in their cohorts at all times, including when attending activities as part of their safe itineraries after TravelRevive.

The AfA on Enabling Safe and Innovative Visitor Experiences will study the findings and data from TravelRevive to refine the safe management measures and best practices for MICE events and leisure travel progressively.

Katrina Leung, managing director, Messe Berlin (Singapore) – organiser of ITB Asia – commented: “TravelRevive is a major stepping stone for our industry’s recovery while setting a bold new benchmark for hybrid events. Together with STB, we look forward to growing the MICE industry and fortifying Singapore’s position as a key hub for events and corporate travel.”

Andrew Phua, executive director, Exhibitions & Conferences, Singapore Tourism Board, said: “We are proud to break new ground together with Messe Berlin by piloting Asia-Pacific’s first international travel tradeshow since the start of COVID-19. As the Global-Asia node for business, Singapore is reimagining the future of business events with rigorous protocols and creative solutions, while supporting our MICE industry as we pivot, adapt and transform.”

TravelRevive will be the first pilot tradeshow to trial the newly developed prototype for safe business events, safe itineraries and digital enablers in Singapore.

TravelRevive – which will take place live from 25-26 November 2020, at Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre, will bring together the travel industry to exchange ideas, bridge knowledge gaps, and reimagine how the future of travel will look like.

A safe, trusted and innovative MICE experience

Developed by the Alliance for Action on Enabling Safe and Innovative Visitor Experiences, a task force created to review how Singapore can stay economically resilient, this prototype will provide delegates with the degree of interaction they would be accustomed to in a regular tradeshow setting – but in a far safer way which minimises infection risks.

The prototype includes creative solutions to enhance the health and safety for delegates, as well as digital enablers to allow participants to experience the event safely and seamlessly. Solutions the prototype will adopt include innovations such as touchless technology and automated registration kiosks, as well as safety measures such as plexiglass shields in exhibition booths and meeting pods that serve as an additional measure to reduce droplet transmissions.

Reimagining the future of travel

The two-day event will feature conference sessions, exhibitions, as well as opportunities for one-to-one buyer-seller appointments in a safe manner. The event is expected to welcome 150 hosted buyers from countries across Asia. TravelRevive will also be complemented with virtual interactions which allow a wider global audience to connect with regional travel businesses.

TravelRevive comes off the back of Singapore Tourism Board’s (STB) announcement in September on the safe and gradual resumption of MICE events. This is in line with the gradual and calibrated lifting of travel restrictions and the implementation of green lanes with various countries.

Exhibitors in attendance include Singapore Tourism Board and Sentosa Development Corporation and the event will welcome all travel trade professionals including buyers, sellers, national tourism organisations, media, thought leaders and VIPs. Complementing the live event, TravelRevive will include virtual aspects such as live telecast of the conference, on-demand sessions and online exhibitor directory.

The Alliance has also designed safe itineraries, comprising a selection of leisure activities that comply with prevailing safe management guidelines, which will be trialled with the MICE delegates of TravelRevive. These safe itineraries could serve as a model for small groups of international visitors when international travel resumes eventually.

In preparation for TravelRevive, the Alliance is also working with relevant Government agencies and industry stakeholders to deploy digital enablers to facilitate a seamless and safe visitor experience journey from pre-arrival to 14 days post-event.

Yap Chin Siang, assistant chief executive, Singapore Tourism Board, said: “As we gradually resume MICE events safely, we are heartened to partner Messe Berlin to roll out TravelRevive as Singapore’s first pilot tradeshow and to prototype solutions for the entire end-to-end visitor experience. Public health and safety remain our priority and we have worked closely with the industry to create strict protocols, and reimagine what a safe and high-quality business event could look like. Together with our industry, we want to set Singapore apart as the world’s leading destination for safe, trusted and innovative business events.”
