SINGAPORE (Bloomberg): The World Economic Forum’s marquee event in Singapore this August will likely be held in a dedicated event zone in the city-state’s central area that could include the Marina Bay Sands complex and two other nearby hotels, according to people familiar with the plans.
The plan for a special zone is among several steps organisers are considering to ensure the forum, traditionally in the Swiss resort town of Davos, can be held safely in Singapore, which is one of the few nations to have contained the virus.
