Marina Bay Sands (MBS) has implemented stricter guidelines for
visiting tour groups, effective from 16 March 2024. Groups will no
longer be allowed to gather or linger in areas such as the MBS Hotel
lobby, Sands Expo and Convention Centre, and The Shoppes at Marina Bay
Sands.
The decision aims to enhance the guest experience and minimise
disruptions within the integrated resort, according to MBS. Tour guides
are also prohibited from using handheld signage, flags, or portable
microphones on the property.
Instead of conducting briefings within MBS premises, tour guides are
advised to do so on coaches before arrival or in public areas outside
the resort. Additionally, groups visiting the SkyPark Observation Deck
are directed to use the entrance located at Tower 3, rather than the
hotel lobby.
MBS's advisory follows similar measures introduced by local universities to manage large tour groups visiting their premises.
