In celebration of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations’ (ASEAN) 50th founding anniversary, global travel brands Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts and Singapore Airlines have partnered to launch a regional travel campaign called “ASEAN Is More First Stop Singapore.” The campaign showcases Southeast Asia’s diverse destinations with specially curated leisure travel offers, which can be reserved from 1 August to 31 October 2017 at http://www.rediscovernew.shangri-la.com/asean-50/about/, for stays until 31 December 2017.

Families can find exclusive flight offers to exciting destinations and hotel deals for any Shangri-La hotel or resort in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar and Thailand; Hotel Jen properties in Singapore and Malaysia; as well as Traders Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. 

I had the honour to attend the launch party held at Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore.  All the guests were treated to local delights and local food inspired drinks, like Rojak Cocktail.  We also had the chance to play some Old School Childhood games that we used to play during 70s, 80s like Pick Up Sticks, Five Stones, Chapteh, etc.



A Mama Shop was even set up in the ballroom to create that nostalgic feel.  It brought back memories of the good old days!



The ASEAN Is More - Family Fun Offer includes:
  • Accommodations for two adults and two children aged 11 years old and below
  • Daily breakfast buffet
  • Complimentary extra bed or sofa bed
  • for one child
  • Complimentary daily dinner buffet for
  • two adults and two children – aged 11
  • years old and below – with free-flow

To turn up the notch on fun, travellers can take part in the ASEAN 50 Holiday Memory Matchgame from 1 August to 31 October 2017. Game participants score points by correctly matching all the cards in the shortest time and the accumulated scores are displayed on a leaderboard on the game’s microsite http://www.rediscovernew.shangri-la.com/asean-50-game/. The top 10 fastest contestants will each win a four-day and three-night stay at Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore that includes a SGD200 dining credit at NAMI Restaurant and Bar. Winners of the ASEAN 50 Holiday Memory Match game will be notified through email. 


At the end of the memory game when participants submit their answer for the question, “What is your favourite ASEAN country and why?” they stand a chance to win a four-day holiday from their home country to Singapore. The prize includes a round trip economy class air ticket on Singapore Airlines with accommodation in the newly refreshed Tower Wing of Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore.
