The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) is among the first National Tourism Organizations (NTOs) to stage an elaborate consumer engagement event in India, digitally, in partnership with Zomato, during the on-going COVID-19 situation. Constantly on the look-out for innovative and effective ways to engage the Indian consumers and present itself as a top-of-mind destination, the STB is embarking on a partnership initiative with Zomato for “Zomaland@home”, happening during the first two weekends of June 2020.

After a successful partnership with Zomato in 2019, we are thrilled to embark on this innovative joint digital initiative to showcase Singapore’s culinary, nightlife, entertainment offerings to the Indian audience through these virtual weekend festivals.
