TDM Global Summit Singapore: Points to Ponder on the Future of Travel and Tourism
The TDM Global Summit Singapore held earlier this week at the InterContinental Singapore served to give gathered industry professionals food for thought as to the direction global travel and tourism are taking within the current decade and beyond. Featuring speakers from various sectors within the industry, the Summit served as a sounding board for ideas and upcoming innovations that could shape the future of travel throughout the world. That said, we present five key insights presented during the Summit and how these are changing the game in terms of hospitality, travel, aviation, and tourism. Sustainability is a necessity rather than an option Given the recent natural disasters which are seen as a result of climate change, global travel is scrambling to offer the world better, greener options for more sustainable operations. We heard throughout the Summit that, rather than just another item to be ticked off a checklist, companies need to take sustainability seriously, essentially integrating environment-friendly and community-centric practices into their industrial DNA. Rather than mere bragging rights, green certifications are seen as badges of honour and commitment among companies that seek to make their operations safer for the environment and more beneficial to their host communities. Sustainability also means considering local traditions and the preservation thereof, especially at a time when both cultural appropriation and the invasiveness of overtourism are rife. Whether we like it or not, AI is here to stay We are currently in the throes of another industrial revolution, so to speak: a revolution involving the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) throughout the globe. While many remain sceptical as to what practical benefit AI will have on their respective industries, AI is proving to be a boon as a tool for automation as it simplifies key back-of-the-house processes, making operations more efficient in the long run. At the same time, the use of generative AI for trip planning has been rapidly gaining ground among end-consumers who are using it to scope out possible itineraries, search for the best deals, and even book their hotels, flights, and tours of choice. As the Thais say: Healing is the new luxury Health and wellness have been pointed out as integral elements of the contemporary luxury experience. However, these now go beyond booking a massage or a rejuvenating treatment at a hotel spa; indeed, the scope now covers digital detoxes in far-flung regions like Bhutan and the Himalayas; spiritual retreats in India, in Basque mountain monasteries, or even quaint resorts in Thailand and Indonesia; and wellness rituals rooted in ancient traditions throughout the world. Some of our luxury experts inadvertently leaned towards Thailand’s 2026 thematic Healing is the New Luxury, citing how people are willing to spend more to get themselves back on an even keel both physically and spiritually, along with their willingness to try treatments well beyond their comfort zones in the hope that these will lead to a full reset. Of course, talking about wellness tourism also opens up the topic for health and medical tourism which have helped boost arrival numbers for various countries, including Thailand, Mexico, and Turkiye, given how patients from the west make their way over to seek reasonably priced yet highly effective treatment. More people are turning to socials for travel inspiration Social media has a major part to play when it comes to giving people ideas as to where to go, when to go, and what to do when they get there. Indeed, several experts pointed out how some travellers will head to their travel agent of choice or check out OTAs online armed with ideas they gleaned from watching someone’s content on TikTok or Instagram. This notion was initially posited to us at an earlier event wherein EternityX founder Charlene Ree pointed out how travel content featured on Chinese social networks Rednote, Douyin, and WeChat has spurred a greater interest in travel among China’s younger people. While those online won’t really go for an exact shot-by-shot itinerary like the influencers, what they see online is enough to push them into making bookings and driving them to their destinations of choice. We may be looking at the rise of privately-chartered aviation Luxury travel is evolving at a rapid clip, and one aspect of the sector is chartered aviation. In recent months, we’ve noted how several chartered flight services have announced their expansion into new markets or their acquisition of smaller firms in order to expand their footprint in key markets. While mentioned fleetingly during the CEO Breakfast that preceded the summit proper, it certainly piqued the interest of C-suite attendees who see chartered aviation as a perk that luxury travellers look forward to, something that takes their trips from being humdrum to exceptional. Taking a closer look at the matter following the Summit, we noted that the number of people taking chartered flights rather than commercial ones has increased within this year. Incidentally, private aviation may no longer be the exclusive perk of the moneyed class, as global companies are beginning to see its benefits as a more effective, if not efficient, way of ferrying their people from one officer to another anywhere in the world.
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.
