Diverse and dynamic, the nations of Asia offer numerous opportunities for both business and pleasure. And thanks to its centrality within the region — and Singapore Airlines’ regular shuttle services to other major capitals and cities — Singapore is the ideal base for no-hassle business travel within Asia.

BANGKOK

With modern megamalls, hotels and conferencing facilities just minutes from golden-spired temples and bustling markets, Bangkok is a place that wears its contradictions proudly. Just two hours 25 minutes by air from Singapore, the city benefits from a huge range, many of which offer outstanding value.

KUALA LUMPUR

Less than an hour’s flight from Singapore, Malaysia’s space-age capital is a tasty proposition for business — and not just because of its spectacular food scene. An easy 40-minute transfer by taxi from the international airport, KLCC (Kuala Lumpur City Centre), the city’s main business hub, is home to a number of international hotels and Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.

JAKARTA

Indonesia’s vibrant capital is the economic motor that powers the rest of the nation — a dynamic metropolis with a lively bar, restaurant and retail scene. Much of the action is centred on the Senayan area, home to the Indonesian stock exchange, conference venues and new hotels, and just a 30-minute ride from the city’s Soekarno Hatta International Airport.

HONG KONG

Outstanding venues, easy international connections (including six Singapore Airlines flights to and from Singapore per day) and a stunning location makes Hong Kong a favoured choice for business. Another string to its bow is its nightlife, which offers a dizzying array of choice.
