The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has announced the appointment of Renjie Wong as Area Director, India & South Asia (Mumbai). Wong will be based in Mumbai managing West and South India and will work with STB’s offices and representatives to oversee the Board’s destination promotion and marketing efforts to ensure that Singapore remains the top-of-mind leisure and business destination among Indian visitors.
Wong takes up his appointment at a time when Singapore, as part of its easing of pandemic travel restrictions, has introduced the Vaccinated Travel Framework (VTF) with effect from April 1, 2022. Under this, fully-vaccinated travellers from India are able to enjoy quarantine-free visits via any flight between the two countries.
Renjie Wong has been with the STB since 2016, where he has managed a portfolio of high-growth markets including Myanmar and Cambodia. He has also served a two-year stint in New York City and San Francisco, where he led the North American market in the areas of tech partnerships, MICE industry business development and marketing, and brand marketing partnerships across the continent. Prior to assuming his role as Area Director (Mumbai), he served as Assistant Director of Hospitality Industry Transformation, leading efforts to foster sustainable growth across the Singapore hospitality industry.
On his appointment, Renjie said, “I am honoured to lead a dynamic team managing West and South India, particularly during this incredibly exciting time of global tourism recovery. We aim to grow Singapore’s reputation as the destination of choice for international outbound travel from India. I look forward to working together with our travel trade partner-friends and stakeholders in the years ahead, to welcome Indian travellers back to Singapore,” he said.
