ADVAL WELL PLACED TO LEAD SINGAPORE FLYER TO SUCCESS

Singapore, 27 September, 2005: Adval Brand Group Pte Ltd, the exclusive agent for the Singapore Flyer, will play an important role in the sales, marketing and ticket distribution of the Singapore Flyer.

Adval’s advantage is the strong working relationship with Singapore Tourism Board and the strategic alliances with key industry partners. Their global presence is established through having a region-wide distribution network in place. As an associate of NTUC Club, Adval’s ability to leverage on sister companies and partners - all specialists in the leisure and tourism industry – enables it to offer a synergistic and holistic approach to the marketing of the Singapore Flyer. This has provided Adval with a strong foundation and the critical factors to ensure it’s success in this role.

Mr Chng Hee Kok, Chief Executive of NTUC Club said, “NTUC Club, together with Adval, can justifiably be regarded as the single most experienced owner, operator, and marketer of Visitor Attractions in Singapore, with an established distribution network in the top arrival countries to Singapore. This will provide an excellent platform to build a successful sales and marketing programme for the Singapore Flyer.”

Adval will also be working closely with the Singapore Tourism Board and its offices around the world to market the Singapore Flyer. Mr Chang Chee Pey, Director, Sightseeing & Cruise Cluster Development, STB said, “Adval and STB have consistently enjoyed a close partnership that has resulted in many successfully implemented projects. Adval’s extensive experience has enabled it to deliver international campaigns through from concept phase to successful roll-outs.”

Adval’s marketing concept for the Singapore Flyer is to create a unique and memorable experience for each and every visitor and to encourage the target audience to make repeated trips to view it at different times of the day and night and experience the Singapore Flyer as an eventful place. Visitors can expect a series of spectacular events throughout the year that will enhance the appeal of the main attraction. Adval will also be targeting the important local market with the aim to foster all Singaporeans as ambassadors of the Singapore Flyer.

Singapore Flyer Pte Ltd Managing Director, Mr Peter Purcell said that working with Adval for the past year and a half has given him full confidence in their ability to lead the Singapore Flyer to new heights. “Adval shares our passion to make the Singapore Flyer one of Asia’s most important and visible iconic attractions. They have the expertise, networks and drive to ensure that our project will be a resounding success,” he said.

For Ms Patsy Ong, Managing Director of Adval, being part of a team working to transform the Singapore Flyer into a reality gives her a sense of great pride. “The innate human fascination with scale and height and the desire to view cities and landscapes from the air will be one of the Singapore Flyer’s key selling points. Adval’s role is to give the Singapore Flyer a ‘heart beat’, to evoke a sense of affection in its visitors by constantly refreshing its appeal. We want to create an experience that locals and visitors alike will remember and recognize, one that will make the Singapore Flyer a must-try experience. The overall objective is to achieve a strong brand recognition among travelers and locals as a brand logo of Singapore, a fun and eventful place.
