概要

Simeon Ong, Sales Manager for Associations at Marina Bay Sands, shares how an eight-month internship gave him full MICE-industry exposure, built his confidence, and ultimately shaped his career path in tourism, destination sales, and global events.

📌 Key Takeaways

  • His internship gave him complete end-to-end event experience, and he discovered how working across logistics, proposals, sourcing, and operations built the foundation for his sales career.
  • When COVID shut down the industry, he learned that career resilience and adaptability open unexpected paths, allowing him to return stronger to the tourism sector after time in HR.
  • He emphasizes that networking is the most powerful tool students can develop, because internship contacts became industry partners, mentors, and future colleagues.
  • Entering association sales taught him that selling a destination is bigger than selling a venue, and he finds meaning in bringing international events that grow Singapore’s tourism economy.
  • Through every event and client interaction he continues to show that curiosity and a growth mindset fuel long-term success in the global MICE and hospitality industries.
