First Night Free Hotel Stay In Singapore With SIA Holidays!

Purchase SIA Holidays or SilkAir Holidays packages and enjoy one night at a hotel absolutely free, together with a range of goodies such as discounts on entry to a variety of Singapore’s leading tourist attractions!

Singapore Airlines has teamed up with Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) in a global campaign to attract visitors to Singapore.

The special SIA Holidays package to be launched from the end of this month will be supported by a range of promotional activities throughout the year, across the Singapore Airlines and SilkAir route network of 93 cities in 38 countries.

“The thrust of the campaign is to bring visitor numbers back to Singapore. Both short and long haul markets would be targeted from the outset,” said Mr Huang Cheng Eng, Singapore Airlines Executive Vice President, Marketing & the Regions.

“The promotions will be launched in phases across Singapore Airlines’ network and over SG$9 million will be pumped in jointly by Singapore Airlines, STB, CAAS and the travel industry for joint in-market promotions and advertising, as well as value-adds to the package,” he added.

“STB’s collaboration with Singapore Airlines, SilkAir and CAAS is a prime example of the travel industry here working together. We are very excited with the partnerships that are being forged - and pleased that travelers will benefit and get to enjoy so much more value in the great deals and irresistible offers under the '2009 Reasons to enjoy Singapore’ banner”, said Mr Ken Low, Singapore Tourism Board's Assistant Chief Executive (Marketing).

“This partnership is an example of CAAS’ commitment to support airlines, the tourism industry and also to pass on greater value to our passengers, especially during this time. We hope such collaborative campaigns will help entice more travellers to come to Singapore and also from here to the region,” said CAAS’ Deputy Director-General (Development), Mr Tan Lye Teck.

To kick-start the campaign, Singapore Airlines and its industry partners have lined up many irresistible packages for travellers, including a FREE first night’s stay in Singapore, with a minimum stay of two nights, subject to terms and conditions. Also included in the package are free airport transfers, discounted entry to selected leading attractions and unlimited free rides on the Singapore Airlines “Hop-On Bus” – an air-conditioned bus service that allows customers to visit over 20 major attractions in Singapore, including the popular shopping malls and restaurants. Customers staying at participating hotels will also enjoy 50 percent off food and beverage discounts at their respective hotels’ designated F&B outlets.

Apart from boosting tourist arrivals, there are also attractive deals for Singaporeans looking for short getaways!

Some of these exciting holidays will first be offered from 27 February to 1 March 2009 at the NATAS Travel Fair.
