🎉 Last month, Linkd Tourism had the honour of hosting the inaugural Sentosa Trade Roadshow in partnership with Sentosa Development Corporation, Singapore Tourism Board , FlyScoot , as well as seven Island Partners.

🎉 With two events in Perth & Melbourne, we welcomed over 160 trade partners to join us for an evening of great conversations & a first-look at Sentosa's 20-year Master Plan. On the night, the Island Partners came together & gave away over 15 prizes in each city with major prizes including airfares, accommodation, experiences & travel credits.

🎉 We know Aussies' love Singapore & Sentosa, making up the 4th highest growth market for the region, so it felt fitting to bring that the event to life in two major connecting cities.

🎉 If you've been waiting for a sign to book your next trip - this is it!

👀 SOLO (and YOLO) TRAVELLERS!

👀 Linkd Tourism helped partner our client Discover Hong Kong with Mamamia for the best solo trip everyone should take in 2026.

There's something incredibly liberating about being the sole operator of your itinerary — sleeping in when you want, eating where you want, and never having to compromise on a single thing. Here's exactly why this city is the solo female travel sanctuary you've been looking for."
