Science Centre Singapore triumphs at TDM Travel Trade Excellence Awards 2025 – Asia
The company took home two awards for its Escape @ Science Centre (E.S.C.), and Curiosity Shop. Science Centre Singapore claimed victory at the TDM Travel Trade Excellence Awards 2025 - Asia, receiving the Destination Product of the Year - Singapore and Data Analytics of the Year - Singapore honours for promoting interactive entertainment and transforming retail operations. Where science meets adventure Science Centre Singapore’s Escape @ Science Centre (E.S.C.) is a first-of-its-kind escape room that transforms science into an immersive adventure. It blends STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) concepts with the thrill of escape room gameplay. The attraction was created to engage young adults and curious minds, combining educational principles, artistic design, and creative storytelling into an escape room. Unlike conventional ones that rely on horror elements, E.S.C. has narrative-driven challenges that focus on science, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. E.S.C. features three distinctive experiences, the first being the Museum of Humankind, a post-apocalyptic survival challenge that explores human innovation. The second experience is Shangri-La, a world inspired by digital glitches and virtual metaverses; then Dr. X , a mission that puts participants on a quest to rescue a lost friend. Since its launch, E.S.C. has built a loyal following, earning over 100 glowing Google reviews and a stellar 4.7-star rating. Its immersive experiences continue to draw a steady stream of visitors and fans each month. Furthermore, E.S.C. has expanded its offerings with customised birthday and group packages, which have helped extend its appeal beyond students and science enthusiasts. Curiosity Shop Science Centre Singapore’s Curiosity Shop has transformed how retail operations are managed through the power of data analytics by introducing interactive dashboards. Being the first of their kind within the organisation, the Curiosity Shop turned historical data into clear and actionable insights for both the management and frontline staff. Instead of just relying on experience and instinct, the dashboards created a single source of truth, empowering both management and frontline staff to make informed decisions. What truly sets this initiative apart is not only the technology itself but also the creative way analytics were applied in an education-focused retail environment. The team used Pareto Analysis (the 80/20 principle) and identified that 20% of products contributed to 80% of sales. This insight guided smarter promotions and stock decisions. The dashboards sparked a cultural transformation, equipping the retail team with data-driven thinking. Additionally, the Curiosity Shop used predictive analytics to manage seasonal retail fluctuations. The dashboards tracked a wide range of indicators, including year-on-year sales growth, basket size, product category performance, discount effectiveness, and customer payment preferences. These initiatives led the Curiosity Shop to achieve over SG$1m in sales in 2023 to 2024, followed by nearly SG$1.2m in 2024 to 2025. The average basket size also rose from SG$23 to $37, whilst educational books, which were once a low-performing category, improved by two ranks following data-led interventions. What began as a data project has evolved into a model of resilience, adaptability, and growth. Science Centre Singapore’s Curiosity Shop has proven that science and strategy can work hand in hand even in retail.

Aerotel Singapore claims accolade at TDM Travel Trade Excellence Awards 2025 – Asia
The hotel champions wellness, leisure, and sustainability to enhance guest comfort and responsible travel. Aerotel Singapore was named the Airport Hotel of the Year - Singapore at the TDM Travel Trade Excellence Awards 2025 - Asia for redefining airport transit with wellness, leisure, flexible stays, and sustainable initiatives that elevate the overall guest experience and convenience. Located in the transit area of Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 1, Aerotel Singapore stands proud as the flagship airport hotel by Plaza Premium Group. The property remains the only airport transit hotel in Asia equipped with an outdoor swimming pool, poolside bar, fitness corner, and library, alongside 68 premium rooms, making it a perfect space for a moment of relaxation between flights. For Aerotel, transit need not be a boring affair. Whether guests wish to stretch after a long flight or enjoy a few hours of rest before their onward journey, the hotel offers an inviting airport oasis outdoors. Visitors can unwind by the pool, enjoy cocktails and bar bites, and rejuvenate to a mix of relaxing and upbeat music. The hotel also offers flexible hourly booking options with a minimum 6-hour block, catering perfectly to transit travellers. Members of Smart Traveller, Plaza Premium Group’s mobile loyalty programme, enjoy an additional 10% discount year-round. In line with its commitment to sustainable hospitality, Aerotel Singapore continues to innovate for health-conscious and eco-aware travellers. The installation of filtered water taps in all 68 guest rooms and 4 solo room toilets in June 2025 marks another step in the group’s mission to “Make Travel Better” with responsibility towards society, the environment, and the economy. This initiative reflects Plaza Premium Group’s commitment to responsible travel, offering a simple but meaningful change that helps both guests and the planet. Whilst Singapore’s tap water is already safe to drink, the newly installed filtered water dispensers, which are positioned next to the regular taps in each room and solo toilet, provide further purification by removing extra sediments and reducing chlorine levels. With these, guests enjoy clean and great-tasting water with added peace of mind. The installation of filtered water taps has also enabled the hotel to eliminate single-use plastic water bottles from guest rooms—a move that has helped the hotel reduce plastic waste by approximately 2,400 bottles per month. This serves as a significant contribution given the environmental challenges of plastic pollution in air travel. Furthermore, this initiative aligns with Plaza Premium Group’s focus on creating sustainable travel experiences. The group promotes greener operations, responsible sourcing, and the reduction of single-use plastics to push for a cleaner future for airport hospitality.

Japan Creative Centre and Pilot Pen Singapore have teamed up this month to present The Timeless Craftsmanship of Maki-e - NAMIKI: Past, Present, Future. This stunning cultural showcase invites visitors to experience the timeless artistry and rich legacy of NAMIKI. Running for only a week from 15th to 22nd November, the Japan Creative Centre will transform into a sanctuary of craftsmanship, offering a rare glimpse into the exquisite world of NAMIKI’s Maki-e fountain pens and the art of traditional Japanese lacquer art. At the exhibition, visitors will journey through time and explore NAMIKI’s rich legacy, from the pioneering days of founder Ryosuke Namiki to the celebrated works of the Kokkokai, through a breathtaking display of a rare and expansive collection of Limited-Edition NAMIKI Maki-e fountain pens tracing the brand’s storied history. Japan Creative Centre director Akiko Kawabe said of the upcoming exhibition: "This collaboration is a celebration of Japanese craftsmanship at its finest. As a cultural bridge between Japan and Singapore, JCC is dedicated to promoting the depth and diversity of Japanese culture through the arts, innovation, and tradition. This showcase with NAMIKI perfectly embodies that mission - offering audiences a rare opportunity to engage with the exquisite art of Maki-e, not just as a historic craft, but as a living expression of Japan’s enduring creativity and refinement.” Pilot Pen Singapore managing director Ryu Taisuke added: "At NAMIKI, every pen is more than a writing instrument: it is a vessel of imagination, a canvas where tradition meets innovation through the timeless art of Maki-e. Through this showcase, we are honoured to bring the spirit of Japanese artistry to Singapore, a place where creativity and culture are deeply valued. It is both a tribute to our heritage and a step forward in our mission to preserve, share, and reimagine this exquisite art form for future generations across the world.” A masterpiece comes to Singapore On opening day, visitors to the exhibition will have the rare opportunity to meet NAMIKI artisan Chida Seiki whose hand has guided many of the brand’s most iconic creations, including ‘Dancing Beauty’ (2003), ‘Hyoutan Namazu’ (2008), ‘Polar Bear’ (2009), and ‘Coral’ (2021).
