1. The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) profiles local bars, bartenders, homegrown distilleries, and breweries to showcase Singapore’s diverse and innovative beverage scene. STB also collaborates with nightlife businesses to leverage STB-supported events, such as iLight Singapore, Light to Night Festival, and Grand Prix Season Singapore to create promotions or special experiences to attract both local consumers and visitors.
