On July 24, 2024, a delegation from the Singapore Tourism Board visited the GLA Global Logistics Alliance headquarters in Shenzhen. Amidst a friendly and enthusiastic atmosphere, both parties engaged in in-depth exchanges and discussions. The purpose of this visit was to explore how to utilize logistics networks to promote the development of the tourism industry and to strengthen cooperation between the two countries in the fields of tourism and logistics.

Ms. Toh Sork Lee, Director of the Greater China region of the Singapore Tourism Board, emphasized that Singapore is actively enhancing cooperation with countries around the world. With its superior geographical location in Southeast Asia and advanced logistics facilities, Singapore is gradually becoming an important hub for international trade and tourism. Faced with the growing global demand for tourism, the potential for cooperation between Singapore and global countries is limitless. The interconnectivity between China and Singapore will not only promote the recovery of the tourism industry but also drive further progress in cultural exchange and economic development.

In recent years, China has been actively implementing a visa exemption policy, allowing tourists from many countries to visit China more conveniently. The mutual visa exemption between China and Singapore has also laid a solid foundation for mutual exchange and interconnectivity between the peoples of the two countries. It is expected that in the future, as exchanges based on cultural ties deepen, tourism mobility will greatly increase. The aspiration of Singaporean tourists to explore China's diverse culture and vibrant cities will surely promote broader cooperation in the tourism market between the two sides.

Through interaction and exchange with international counterparts, local enterprises can learn from successful experiences, thereby enhancing their own logistics management and service capabilities. This will not only promote local economic development but also provide new impetus for trade between Singapore and the Greater China region. The knowledge and innovations exchanged during such meetings can lead to improved efficiency and competitiveness for businesses in both countries.

Moreover, the collaboration between the Singapore Tourism Board and GLA is a significant step towards integrating tourism and logistics strategies to create more seamless and enriching travel experiences. By leveraging advanced logistics networks, both parties aim to reduce travel barriers, optimize supply chains, and enhance the overall quality of tourism services. This strategic partnership is poised to set a benchmark for other nations looking to synergize tourism and logistics for mutual benefit.

This meeting has deepened the understanding and cooperation between Singapore and China in the fields of tourism, logistics, culture, and economy, showcasing the win-win prospects for both countries in the future. We warmly welcome the visit of the Singapore Tourism Board delegation once again. GLA will continue to play its role as a bridge and bond, making substantial contributions to promoting international trade, economic, and cultural exchanges. By fostering such partnerships, GLA reaffirms its commitment to creating a more connected and prosperous global community.
