The inaugural Wellness Festival Singapore, running from 3 to 12 June
2022, marks the start of the country’s vigorous roll out of over 120
wellness offerings, featuring a wide selection of fitness classes,
meditation workshops, arts and lifestyle experiences.
As Singapore sees the arrival of more international travellers, the
upcoming festival is part of Singapore Tourism Board’s (STB) strategy to
boost awareness of Singapore’s wellness offerings and position itself
as a leading wellness destination. At the festival, Singapore will
unveil the many large-scale attractions and activities.
"“Wellness Festival Singapore is central to our push for Singapore to
be an urban wellness haven, and we are excited to partner both the
public and private sectors to showcase our breadth of accessible
wellness offerings," Ong Ling Lee, executive director of sports &
wellness at STB stated. "As we emerge from the pandemic, we hope locals
and visitors can rest and rejuvenate in Singapore, while discovering
more of what our city has to offer.”
