SINGAPORE, 8 July 2024: The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has launched a Concept and Price Revenue tender to develop and operate a wellness attraction at the Marina South Coastal site.
The project is a key part of STB’s strategy to grow wellness tourism, offering holistic and immersive wellness experiences as part of our tourism offerings for visitors.
The four-hectare site is located along the waterfront, and the wellness attraction, when completed, will complement other places of interest such as Gardens by the Bay, Founders’ Memorial in Bay East and Marina Barrage.
In a press statement, STB said it sought proposals “with innovative, high-quality concepts that can positively impact physical, emotional, or mental wellness. These may include therapeutic art,tech-based offerings such as floatation or light and frequencies-based therapies, and complementary health and alternative therapies, as well as fitness or recovery-related activities, such as indoor and outdoor water or equipment-based activities.”
Additionally, the wellness attraction must also implement a strong pipeline of regular, high-quality wellness-themed events or programmes on its premises, as well as in public spaces within the wellness attraction or in the surrounding areas, which will appeal to both tourists and residents.
Singapore Tourism Board Executive Director, World Expo and Special Projects Carrie Kwik said: “With the rising demand for more restorative and wellness-related experiences, we believe Singapore is well-placed to be a leading Urban Wellness destination that prioritises holistic well-being.
“The tender marks a significant stride towards realising our wellness ambition as we leverage Singapore’s strengths in accessibility and technology as a strong business hub. This wellness attraction will contribute to Singapore’s tourism sector by giving travellers more compelling reasons to extend their stay and spend more in Singapore. Locals will also enjoy the wide range of wellness offerings available.”
The tender is open to local and international bidders for three months, with the closing date for submitting proposals set for 4 October 2024.
