Tourism Innovation Competition 2013

Description: Tourism Innovation Competition (TIC) is an annual competition that started in 2010. Organised by Temasek Polytechnic's School of Business and supported by the Singapore Tourism Board, the competition aims to arm student participants with opportunities to learn more about the tourism industry as well as career opportunities available. The theme for 2013 looked at the youth tourism market, and how Singapore could be made into a major youth tourism destination. Some 49 teams of students from 26 secondary schools and ITE participated in TIC 2013, and the teams were given one month to work on their proposals and were mentored by industry experts. The grand finale for the competition was held on 16 July, and students had to present their creative strategies which would produce innovative experiences for younger tourists aged 18 to 35 years old, while the Auditorium foyer was turned into an exciting exhibition of novel tourism ideas. Four students from Zhonghua Secondary School won the competition with their Cosplay theme where guests could try their hands at bringing characters they were playing to life. Mr Daniel Yeow, Director, TP's School of Business gave the welcome address, while Ms Chiew Chien Way, Asst Director, Capability and Innovation, Singapore Tourism Board presented the awards to winners of TIC 2013.
