HEAR FROM US
"STB is a dynamic workplace, filled with many opportunities to own and work on meaningful and diverse tourism initiatives and plans. Since joining 8 years ago, I've been involved in exciting work ranging from long-term planning projects such as the Orchard Road Rejuvenation Plan, developing partnerships with in-market trade in Europe (when I was based in the STB London office), to charting and future proofing Singapore's tourism strategy. Currently, I am in the Sustainable Tourism Office, where we oversee and drive the implementation of the sustainable tourism strategy."
