THE Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has appointed Journeys under a three-year contract to operate and manage Haw Par Villa since August 1, 2015, with an option to renew for two further terms of three years each. The company will take charge of the attraction’s programming as well as the management of future F&B spaces within the park.
Ranita Sundramoorthy, director of attractions, dining and retail at STB, said: “We believe that (Journeys) will be able to enliven Haw Par Villa with interesting concepts that will appeal to both locals and tourists, while conserving the integrity of the park.”
Chan Ying-Loone, director of Journeys, said they are aiming “to return the park to its former glory and more”. He added: “We look forward to working closely with the community to organise more activities to breathe new life to this historical and cultural gem of Singapore.”
The park will remain opened daily to all visitors and admission is free.
