SINGAPORE - Gardens by the Bay has been selected as one of 13 recipients of the international Thea Awards, alongside other attractions such as Walt Disney World Resort, Hong Kong Disneyland and Universal Studios Japan.
Gardens by the Bay will be receiving the award at the 20th Annual Thea Awards Gala on 5 April in California, USA. Regarded as the Oscars of the attractions industry, the Thea Awards is presented by international alliance, Themed Entertainment Association.
Said Dr Kiat W. Tan, CEO of Gardens by the Bay, “Gardens by the Bay has been fortunate in receiving a number of local and international awards including World Building of the Year 2012, and more recently, the Breakthrough Contribution to Tourism award and President's Design Award 2013 in Singapore, as well as the RIBA Lubetkin Prize in the United Kingdom for best new international building of 2013. While most of the awards we have garnered so far relate to design, architecture and engineering, the Thea Award honours creative excellence in the attractions and entertainment arena. It is a wonderful recognition of the team’s hard work, since opening in June 2012, in making every visit to the Gardens a delightful experience for our visitors.”
