in Australia, and we are keen to play a more active role in the country’s tourism and
travel industry through strategic partnerships aimed at long-term and sustainable tourism
growth.

renowned for its food and wine products. I am sure with the launch of our fifth weekly
service to Adelaide and with SIA’s extensive global presence, we will encourage more
tourists to visit South Australia.”

Singapore Airlines to promote tourism to South Australia in many of our key
