MasterCard strikes deal with Resorts World Sentosa

MasterCard Worldwide signs a “strategic” agreement with Resorts World Sentosa today, giving it full access to promote the world-class integrated resort to its cardholders.

The alliance will provide MasterCard with a portfolio of cardholder usage incentives, seasonal marketing programs and merchant offers to enhance cardholder experiences with MasterCard.

“Resorts World Sentosa offers a wide range of exciting attractions and offerings, many of which are world’s firsts.

MasterCard will also be given access to hotel room nights within the Resort, admission tickets and express passes for Universal Studio Singapore for use in cardholder promotions as part of the agreement.

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.
