Singapore opens ConnectChangi facility, allowing business visitors to meet without serving quarantine

SINGAPORE: Business travellers from around the world will be able to stay and conduct meetings at a dedicated facility in Singapore, without the need to serve quarantine on arrival.

"Doing so will also help to speed up the recovery of our MICE and hospitality sectors, which have been hard-hit, and preserve our role as a global business hub," he said. "We came up with the idea to repurpose Halls 7 to 10 of the into a facility like this, which will ... allow business meetings to happen, that will then enable travel to happen, and gradually we will be able to get business as close to normal as we could," he said.He added that they are prepared to be agile and design the remaining parts of the facility as the pandemic evolves.

Such visitors will have a host of new safe management measures to adhere to when they arrive for their stay there, including being tested for COVID-19 every few days, and having to keep to groups of five in a cohort. They will be transferred from the airport and sent to their rooms, and have to stay in until the test result is out, which is estimated to be about six hours.

Large-scale video conferences can be held, to allow for hybrid meetings. There are also special document exchange boxes where the papers will be sanitised before being transferred to either side.
