Why companies choose Singapore

  • Short flights from India

    Four to six hours from the main Indian metros. The time difference is two and a half hours, with Singapore ahead, so a morning departure still reaches the city for dinner.

  • Venues built for large groups

    The Sands Grand Ballroom takes 8,000 theatre-style, and Suntec has an auditorium of more than 4,200 seats.

  • Short transfers, one airport

    Changi is 20 to 30 minutes from Marina Bay. Coaches, the MRT and taxis make moving 200 people simple.

  • Gardens, harbour and beach in one stay

    Supertrees after dark, a bumboat on the river and a beach club on Sentosa all fit into one programme.

  • Indian food is easy to find

    Little India and Indian restaurants across the city serve vegetarian and Jain guests properly.

  • A base for cruises

    A cruise from Singapore sails from Marina Bay Cruise Centre to Penang, Port Klang and Phuket, so Singapore pairs with Malaysia and Thailand.

Singapore for corporate groups

Singapore suits companies that want an easy, well-run trip. Distances are short, English is spoken everywhere, and the venues handle groups of every size, from a boardroom of 20 to a convention hall of thousands.

A leadership offsite of 40 fits a boutique hotel such as Raffles. Dealer conferences of 1,500 fit the ballrooms at the Fairmont, Shangri-La and the Ritz-Carlton. A regional conference of several thousand has Suntec and the Sands Expo.

Singapore is also a destination for government study tours. A longer trip can continue to the Philippines. For group flights, hotels and visas to Singapore, see corporate travel.

Visas for Indian passport holders

Indian passport holders need a visa to enter Singapore. Each traveller applies individually, and ICE India keeps the group's applications moving together.

How to apply
Through an authorised visa agent, who submits the application online to the Singapore High Commission. Travellers do not apply to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority directly from India.
Business visits
Conferences and meetings count as business visits. The application form is the same as for a social visit.
Processing time
Generally three to five working days, though some applications take longer. Flights should only be booked once the visa is approved.
Documents
A passport valid for six months, two colour photographs (35 by 45 mm, white background) and a signed application form. A letter of introduction from a local contact is required in some cases, and ICE India arranges it.
SG Arrival Card
Every traveller submits it free of charge within three days before arrival, online or in the MyICA app.
Transit only
Visa-free transit for up to 96 hours applies only to travellers passing through to a third country who hold a valid visa for Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, the UK or the USA, or a Schengen visa from Germany or Switzerland. It does not cover a group travelling from India for an offsite.

Two evenings groups plan around in Singapore: Gardens by the Bay and the river

An evening in the Gardens and a ride on the river. Groups usually pick one as the high point of the trip.

Supertrees, light shows and dinner under glass

Gardens by the Bay after dark

The Supertrees are tall vertical gardens that light up after dark. Garden Rhapsody, a free light and music show, runs at 7:45 pm and 8:45 pm, and guests can walk the OCBC Skyway between the trees.

For the gala, the Flower Dome can be hired for a seated dinner, with Marina Bay Sands and the Supertrees close by.

Time
Late afternoon to late evening, so the light show falls in the middle of the programme.
Group size
The Flower Dome seats 700 for dinner.
As the gala night
A dinner under the dome, then the light show and the awards on stage.
Food
Plated or buffet menus from the venue's caterers, with Indian vegetarian and Jain dishes arranged in advance.
A traditional Singapore bumboat carrying passengers on the Singapore River

Bumboats, the Merlion and the skyline from the water

Singapore River and Marina Bay cruises

Bumboats are the traditional wooden river boats. A charter leaves from Clarke Quay, passes Boat Quay and the old godowns, and reaches the Merlion and Marina Bay Sands.

Larger groups hire several boats sailing together, or move on to a dinner cruise from Marina Bay.

Time
A river charter lasts 45 to 60 minutes, and sunset is the favourite slot.
Group size
A bumboat charter carries up to 45 passengers, and larger groups hire several boats.
As the gala night
A reception on the water, then dinner at a waterfront venue at Clarke Quay or Marina Bay.
Food
Drinks and snacks on board, with dinner at a restaurant on the quay.

Where to go in Singapore

Singapore is a compact island, and every district is within 30 minutes of the others. Most groups pick one hotel base, then travel out for dinners and sightseeing.

Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay and the Merlion

Marina Bay

The heart of the city and the usual conference base. Marina Bay Sands, the Ritz-Carlton Millenia, Mandarin Oriental and Pan Pacific sit around the bay, and the Fairmont and Swissôtel are a short walk away at Raffles City. Gardens by the Bay, the Singapore Flyer and the Sands Expo are all within a few minutes on foot.

At night the Helix Bridge and the Merlion make an easy walk after a day of sessions. Garden Rhapsody, the free Supertree light show, runs at 7:45 pm and 8:45 pm. Marina Bay Sands also has one of Singapore's two casino floors, the other being at Resorts World Sentosa. Guests must be 21 or older, and foreign passport holders enter free.

For larger programmes the Sands Expo and Suntec, a few minutes apart by coach, hold plenaries for thousands. Marina Bay Cruise Centre, expanded in October 2025 to handle 11,700 passengers, sits at the southern end of the bay, so a conference can also end with a few nights at sea.

Where groups stay
Marina Bay Sands has about 1,850 rooms, and the Ritz-Carlton Millenia has 608.
Private evening
The ArtScience Museum offers private hire, with a lobby for up to 180 standing guests.
Sunset view
The SkyPark Observation Deck on the roof of the three towers is open to visitors with a ticket.
Gala dinner
The Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay seats 700 for dinner.
Restaurants and bars along Clarke Quay beside the Singapore River at night

Clarke Quay, Boat Quay, Raffles and the old colonial core

Singapore River and the Civic District

The old trading quarter along the river. Clarke Quay and Boat Quay are lined with restaurants and bars, and the Civic District runs north from the water to Raffles Hotel, the National Gallery and The Fullerton. The JW Marriott South Beach and the Raffles City hotels are close by.

It suits half-day heritage walks between conference sessions, with a river cruise to end the afternoon. Bumboats leave from Clarke Quay and pass Boat Quay on the way to the Merlion.

Evenings can begin with drinks on the quay and end with dinner at a riverside restaurant. The Fullerton Hotel holds events for up to 480 guests, so the Civic District can host a full conference dinner as well as a walk.

Raffles Singapore
An all-suite hotel of 115 suites in the Civic District. The Jubilee Ballroom, a Victorian-style hall, seats 270 for a gala dinner.
National Gallery Singapore
Venue hire includes the Padang Atrium for 350 standing guests and the Supreme Court Terrace for 300.
River charters
A bumboat charter carries up to 45 passengers for 45 or 60 minutes, and larger groups hire several boats sailing together.
Where groups stay
JW Marriott South Beach has 634 rooms and 18 event rooms.

Shopping malls, hotels and Indian restaurants

Orchard Road

Singapore's shopping street, a long run of malls and hotels. The Shangri-La, Grand Hyatt and Conrad stand on and around it, with ballrooms that seat 380 to 1,000 for dinner. Groups stay here when shopping matters as much as the meeting room.

ION Orchard and Takashimaya hold the big brands, and Design Orchard sells Singapore-made gifts. Evenings are easy, because Orchard also has Indian restaurants that take large groups.

Orchard suits mixed programmes. Delegates can attend sessions in a hotel ballroom in the morning, shop in the afternoon and walk to dinner in the evening, with no coach needed. For an outdoor gala, groups usually travel to Marina Bay or Sentosa.

Shangri-La Singapore
792 rooms and two pillar-free ballrooms, with the Island Ballroom taking 1,400 theatre-style.
Grand Hyatt Singapore
699 rooms and 16 event venues, with a Grand Ballroom for 380 at dinner and a reception capacity of 760.
Conrad Singapore Orchard
445 rooms and 14 venues, led by the Royal Pavilion Ballroom, which takes up to 700 theatre-style.
Indian dinner
Zaffron Kitchen is an Indian restaurant on Orange Grove Road, inside the RELC International Hotel, open daily from 11 am to 9 pm.

Temples, hawker food and the Mustafa Centre

Chinatown and Little India

Chinatown has the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, old shophouses and Chinatown Complex, a hawker centre with more than 260 stalls. Little India, a short ride away, has Indian restaurants, flower garlands and the Mustafa Centre, a department store open 24 hours.

Groups walk both on a half-day tour, and Little India is the easy choice for an Indian dinner. Around Deepavali the streets are strung with lights and busy until late.

Hawker centres give a group its first taste of Singapore. Maxwell Food Centre is known for chicken rice, and the Satay Street beside Lau Pa Sat fills from about 7 pm. Groups often split across small tables, so each guest can choose from many stalls.

Buddha Tooth Relic Temple
Open daily from 7 am to 7 pm and free to enter. Dress is modest, with covered shoulders and knees, and no non-vegetarian food is allowed inside.
Komala Vilas
A South Indian vegetarian restaurant on Serangoon Road, open daily from 7 am.
The Banana Leaf Apolo
A Little India restaurant on Race Course Road, open daily from 10:30 am to 10:30 pm.
Mustafa Centre
Open 24 hours, a favourite stop for electronics, spices and gifts.
Visitors on Hollywood Boulevard at Universal Studios Singapore on Sentosa
Visitors relaxing on the sand at Tanjong Beach, Sentosa

Universal Studios, beach clubs and a resort stay

Sentosa

The resort island, reached by cable car from Mount Faber, the Sentosa Boardwalk or the Sentosa Express. Resorts World Sentosa holds Universal Studios Singapore, the Singapore Oceanarium and a large convention centre, and the Sofitel and Capella resorts sit on the island too.

Groups come for incentive stays, team-building on the beach and a gala dinner on the sand. The beach clubs at Tanjong and Palawan take large private groups.

Sentosa for a corporate group works for stays of two or three nights, because meetings, hotel and attractions share one island. Day groups often cross by cable car from Mount Faber, where Faber Peak has a ballroom for dinners, then return to the mainland in the evening.

Tanjong Beach Club
Seats 350 for dinner and holds up to 500 guests on a beachfront site of about 1,100 square metres.
Universal Studios Singapore
Offers group events and team-building, from cocktail evenings to full-day incentives. Ancient Egypt Street takes 200 seated or 700 standing.
Singapore Oceanarium
Rebuilt in 2025 with 22 zones, about three times the size of the old S.E.A. Aquarium, and Ocean Restaurant sits inside it.
Where groups stay
Sofitel Singapore Sentosa has 215 rooms and a 12-room meeting centre, and Capella Singapore has 113 rooms.

Flights from the main Indian cities to Singapore

Indian airlines land at Changi (SIN), 20 to 30 minutes by coach from Marina Bay, 25 to 30 from Orchard Road and 30 to 45 from Sentosa. The MRT serves T2 and T3 only, so groups with luggage take coaches.

When to go

Singapore is warm and humid all year, with highs of 31 to 33 °C and lows of 23 to 25 °C. February is the driest month and March and April are calm, so those months suit outdoor programmes. December is the wettest month, though showers are short and every venue has an indoor option.

Hotels near Marina Bay fill up for the Singapore Grand Prix, which runs from 8 to 10 October 2027, so book ballrooms early for that month.

Chinese New Year
Saturday 6 February 2027, with Sunday 7 and Monday 8 February as holidays. Many restaurants close and the city is festive.
Deepavali
Sunday 8 November 2026 and Thursday 28 October 2027. Little India is decorated and busy, and Indian guests often enjoy it.
Hari Raya Puasa
Wednesday 10 March 2027, after Ramadan, which is expected to begin around 8 February. Kampong Glam is lit up in the weeks before.

Events ICE India has run in Singapore

  • The Warsi Brothers qawwali ensemble performing on stage at Jubilee Hall, Raffles Hotel Singapore

    Warsi Brothers concert

    A ticketed qawwali concert for 350 guests at Jubilee Hall, Raffles Hotel, on 16 April 2016, promoted and produced by ICE India's founder.

  • ICE India has been managing our corporate travel incentives since 2012. As a corporate our requirements are usually specific, involve a last minute rush, lot of back and forth on dates, hotels, number of travelers, etc. Through all of this, it's a pleasure dealing with Mufaddal and his team for the way they manage the trip and the group. The best part is the personalized service and the rapport our group shares with Mufaddal by the end of the trip. All the best!

    Nilesh ShevadeNational Sales Head, ECL Finance Ltd.

  • I've had the pleasure of working with ICE India on multiple events in the past 5 years. Mufaddal gives a special touch to every event with his innovative ideas, personalized service and kick­ass execution! The ICE India team is easily accessible and attentive to our needs. I've found them to be very organized, creative and thoughtful of all aspects leading up to the event and the event day itself. Mufaddal gets personally involved in all matters from ideation to execution and uses his experience to execute all events seamlessly and always has a "plan B" in place for any potential issues. They have a good vendor partner group and have been able to accommodate all event planning seamlessly, exceeding our expectations every time. I would highly recommend ICE India for event planning and have referred them to other companies in my contact sphere.

    Sopan UpadhyayChief Manager - Marketing, IDBI Federal Life Insurance Co. Ltd.

  • We worked with ICE India for Confluence, our annual global partners meet. There were 4 other agencies who were pitching for this event and we finally chose ICE India due to their thorough understanding of our needs and the innovative ideas which they suggested for the event. Since this was the first time that we were working with ICE India for such a large scale event, we were a bit skeptical, but Mufaddal and his team were involved in every small aspect of the event and executed it seamlessly. The biggest thing that they bring to the table is the organized way in which they work, which leads to minimum last minute issues, which we all know is bound to happen in a large scale event. All in all it was a very good experience working with them.

Planning an event in Singapore: questions

Which agency should an Indian company use for a Singapore offsite?

ICE India plans Singapore trips from Mumbai, with vetted local partners handling the hotels, venues and transport on the ground. You get a single point of contact, end to end, from the first brief to the flight home.

Can a group visit the casinos?

Yes. Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa both have casinos. Visitors must be 21 or older, and foreign passport holders enter on their passport. Most corporate programmes leave the casino off the itinerary and offer it as an optional evening.

Can we hold a conference at sea?

Yes. A working programme can run on a cruise that starts and ends at Marina Bay Cruise Centre, with sessions in the ship's theatres and meeting rooms. See business conferences on cruise ships.

How do you look after vegetarian and Jain groups in Singapore?

Vegetarian and Jain guests get proper meals. Menus are agreed with each hotel kitchen and restaurant before arrival, and the team checks them on the first day.

Can we combine Singapore with Malaysia?

Yes. Kuala Lumpur is about an hour by air, and cruises call at Penang and Port Klang. See Malaysia.
