Striving to become a global node for business tourism in Asia, Singapore has taken big steps to regain a sense of normalcy for meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions, relaxing protocols for events that include optional mask-wearing in outdoor venues, the removal of zoning requirements for events, and the expansion of capacity limit for large events of more than 1,000 people to 75%.
