It may be the Year of the Rat, but things are not looking rosy for the Mice sector, an industry leader quipped yesterday.
Three events scheduled to take place next month, including the IT Show - a popular consumer electronics exhibition - have been postponed until further notice, organiser Sphere Exhibits said yesterday. But cost-cutting measures such as shorter operating hours and work weeks are being put in place by some businesses as plans for government aid are being worked out.Mr Charles Tan, secretary-general of the National Association of Travel Agents Singapore, said its members are looking forward to support for the industry being announced next Tuesday, when Budget 2020 is unveiled.
