Tourism industry must do more to collaborate

"This means that we have not done enough in the past to come together", said Mr Wong.

Mr Yeo Guat Kwang, assistant director-general of the National Trades Union Congress and supervising lead of its Hospitality and Consumer Business Cluster, said"the hard reality is that costs will keep going up", and cost wastage is one area that must be looked at. "In Singapore we have too many heads, too many organisations and too many schemes from the Government," he said, adding that the organisation of resources is key.

This year's Great Singapore Sale, which will be revamped and made shorter, was cited as one example of industry collaboration. The Singapore Retailers Association , which organises the event, has partnered the Restaurant Association of Singapore and One Kampong Gelam among others to cross-promote the event and include more experiences when it kicks off in June.But instead of letting the 25-year-old event die, the SRA decided to refresh it with some support, she said.
