Speaking about this association with Zomato, GB Srithar, Regional Director – India, Middle East & South Asia (IMESA), STB said that it will take some time before we can welcome visitors back to Singapore, as the global COVID-19 situation remains volatile. While travel restrictions are still in place, we seek to continue our strong connections with the Indian consumers. 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. We invite Indian audiences to tune in and enjoy the experiential delights that our Singapore and Indian talents have to serve up.
