Singapore Airlines inks deal to help lift visitor economy in New South Wales

Currently, the airline operates four flights to the state’s capital, Sydney.

Singapore Airlines has inked a deal with the government of New South Wales, Australia to help lift the state’s visitor economy.

The memorandum of understanding was sealed through the NSW Government’s $60 million Aviation Attraction Fund.

Under the deal, the NSW Government, through its tourism and major events agency Destination NSW, will collaborate with Singapore Airlines on initiatives including advertising, marketing campaigns and familiarisation programs to drive visitation to NSW.

Lee Lik Hsin, Singapore Airlines’ Executive Vice President Commercial, said the airline’s partnership with the NSW government reflects its “long-standing commitment to keeping Singapore connected to the world and bringing travel to new heights.”

Currently, Singapore Airlines operates daily flights to Sydney, the capital of NSW, which is estimated to “deliver over $231 million in visitor expenditure to NSW up until July 2023 and support more than 1200 jobs,” according to the Minister for Western Sydney, Stuart Ayres.

In 2019, Ayres said NSW welcomed more than 126,000 Singaporean visitors, who stayed more than one million nights and added $232 million to the state’s visitor economy.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
