To enhance its standing as a sustainable destination in the Indian market, Sentosa Development Corporation (SDC) and STIC Travel Group (STIC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) recently at ITB Asia in Singapore. The one-year partnership aims to develop innovative educational experiences for students in India while focusing on sustainability and environmental awareness.

Sentosa to serve as ‘Living Classroom’ for Indian students

The agreement signifies a joint effort to design immersive learning experiences that utilise Sentosa’s unique environment as a living classroom to foster a deeper understanding of the importance of sustainability. These programmes will emphasise key concepts such as the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, carbon footprint reduction and biodiversity conservation.

Boost student travel from India to Singapore

The ties builds upon STIC’s broader efforts to boost educational tourism in Singapore by offering Indian students an opportunity to explore Singapore’s heritage, sustainable development initiatives and interactive learning experiences.

Thien Kwee Eng, Chief Executive Officer, SDC, said, “This partnership with STIC represents a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to promote sustainable tourism through education, particularly in this growing segment.”
