Largest-ever association congress secured for Singapore in 2020

HOW fitting that the Lion City has won the bid to host the 103rd Lions Club International (LCI) Convention 2020, as announced by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) this week.

Held by the Lions Club Singapore in partnership with Singapore Exhibition & Conventions Bureau, which falls under STB, the event is expected to contribute S$58 million (US$43.6 million) in tourism receipts and 20,000 foreign arrivals.

“Singapore was selected over five other cities from around the world for her world-class hotels, restaurants, and convention facilities, as well as an excellent transportation network. Lions are looking forward to a successful convention and wonderful time in this beautiful city,” said Joseph Wroblewski, convention committee chairperson, past international president of LCI.

Various public agencies and MICE industry stakeholders including hotel partners and convention venues joined hands to put together the winning bid for the convention.

While in Singapore, convention delegates will also participate in the International Parade of Nations, which is a half-day walk around the city-state.

Lionel Yeo, chief executive, STB, said: “The LCI Convention 2020 is one of the most coveted events on the congress circuit and we are truly delighted to be able to host this iconic event. Come 2020, we will aim to deliver a spectacular welcome and experience for our LCI friends.”
