FHA — Food & Beverage is held at the Singapore EXPO Convention & Exhibition Centre in April, with the 2027 edition continuing its role as one of Asia's most important food and drink sourcing platforms. The fair brings together food ingredients, bakery, dairy, meat, seafood, beverages, specialty products and retail solutions, drawing importers, distributors, retailers, food-service buyers, hoteliers and manufacturers from across Asia-Pacific and beyond. It fills Singapore EXPO's large connected halls and typically runs alongside related trade shows, generating tens of thousands of professional visits. Because Singapore is a compact city-state and a regional business hub, and because Singapore EXPO sits right beside Changi Airport, hotels near the venue and along the east-west transport corridor are booked early by exhibitors and buying delegations who want short transfers. Rooms fill quickly during show week and rates climb as the dates approach. Event Escapes shows live, bookable rates sorted by real distance from Singapore EXPO, so you can compare genuinely near-venue hotels rather than estimate from a map.

Getting there
From Singapore Changi Airport (SIN)
- Changi is immediately next to Singapore EXPO, one of the shortest airport-to-venue distances of any major fair.
- The MRT connects Changi to Expo station on the same East West/Changi Airport line in just a few minutes.
- A taxi or rideshare from the terminals to the venue is a short, inexpensive ride.
Getting around during FHA — Food & Beverage
Public transport and reaching the venue
- Singapore's MRT is clean, cheap and highly reliable; Expo station sits directly at the venue.
- Use a contactless bank card or an EZ-Link/SimplyGo card to tap through gates.
- The Downtown and East West lines link Expo to the city centre, Marina Bay and Orchard Road.
Taxis and rideshare
- Metered taxis are honest and plentiful; Grab is the dominant rideshare app.
- Fares are transparent and English is universally spoken, so getting around is straightforward.
- Traffic is generally light by regional standards, though allow buffer time at show opening and closing.
Visa & entry
Entry to Singapore
- Many nationalities enter visa-free for short business or tourism stays, while others require a visa arranged in advance.
- Singapore uses an electronic SG Arrival Card that most visitors must submit online before arrival.
- Business visitors should carry evidence of the event and onward travel; entry is generally efficient.
Entry requirements change; always verify with the official Singapore government (ICA) or nearest embassy before booking travel.
First time at FHA — Food & Beverage?
- Book the Changi-adjacent hotels early if you want to walk or ride one MRT stop to the halls.
- Submit your SG Arrival Card online before you fly to speed up immigration.
- April in Singapore is hot and humid year-round; the halls are heavily air-conditioned, so bring a light layer.
- Tap-and-go bank cards work on the MRT and buses, so you may not need a separate transit card.
Insider tips from repeat attendees
- Staying near Expo or one stop toward the city keeps you minutes from the halls while retaining evening options.
- Cover perishable and chilled-product halls early in the day before samples and displays deteriorate in the heat.
- For business dinners head to Marina Bay, Clarke Quay or the East Coast; reserve ahead during show week.
- Avoid the closing-time taxi queue by walking to Expo MRT, which is faster than waiting for a car.

Where should I stay for FHA — Food & Beverage?
Near Singapore EXPO and Changi for the shortest transfers, or along the MRT toward the city if you want more dining and nightlife within a quick ride.

How do I get to the venue?
Take the MRT to Expo station, which is at the venue, or a short taxi/Grab from anywhere in the city; the airport is one stop away.
Do I need a visa for Singapore?
