“Marina Bay’s potential lies in the collective strength of the partners that contribute to its vibrancy. Through our continued partnership with the Singapore Tourism Board and UOB, and with Visa now joining us to elevate the Bay’s culinary offering, ‘A Moment to Savour’ marks another meaningful step in our shared ambition for the precinct,” said Irene Lin, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Resort Marketing at Marina Bay Sands. “By bringing celebrated local and international culinary talent to the Bay, we hope to create distinctive experiences that inspire visitors to discover Singapore’s dynamic dining scene, while strengthening Marina Bay’s position as a leading lifestyle destination on the global stage.”
