Treading Water   Heading to the Future

While having a glimpse of the silver lining at the start of 2022, the public was caught off guard with the onslaught of the Omicron variant which was just about one month ahead of the longed for Chinese New Year celebrations. Once again, the industry has to stand against a devastating blow. Nonetheless, riding on the Government’s support to encourage local spending, promote cultural tourism and multi-destination travel in the Greater Bay Area (GBA), industry stakeholders could complement the strengths of our GBA partners in arriving at an international cuisines hub in the longer term when normalcy returns. Manpower with enthusiasm and passion to bring the industry to the higher realms would be in demand.
