SINGAPORE is ranked among the world's top three cities for international meetings, according to the Union of International Associations' (UIA) latest rankings.
A news release from the Singapore Tourism Board said on Tuesday: 'In the UIA's International Meetings Statistics 2006 report, Singapore moved up one place from 2005 to third position in the Top International Meeting City category.'
The UIA ranked Paris first, followed by Vienna.
At the same time, Singapore topped the rankings in Asia, as the continent's top country and city for meetings.
The Republic surged from fourth to first position, as Asia's top country for meetings, while maintaining its standing as Asia's top city for meetings, a position it has held for the past 23 years.
The STB said the strong showing by Singapore serves as a resounding endorsement of its strengths and continued draw as a business destination.
'In clinching the position as Asia's top country for meetings, Singapore cements its position as the preferred destination in Asia for business travellers to hold their meetings.'
