The TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition and Conference is the region's leading duty free and travel retail event, held at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre in Singapore. The 2026 edition takes place in May and brings together more than 3,500 professionals, including brand owners, airport and airline retailers, operators, distributors and buyers focused on the fast-growing Asia Pacific travel retail market. It is the key annual meeting point for the region's channel, combining an exhibition, conference sessions and an intensive schedule of networking within one of the world's most iconic integrated resorts. Because the event is hosted inside Marina Bay Sands and draws an international delegation, rooms at the resort and across the surrounding Marina Bay and Downtown Core fill quickly, and rates climb during the week. Singapore is also a busy business and events hub year round, so nearby availability can tighten fast. Staying at or near Marina Bay keeps you steps from the halls, meetings and evening functions. Event Escapes shows live, bookable hotel rates sorted by distance from the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre, so you can secure a well-placed room before the closest options are gone.

What happens if I miss a payment?

If the plan still cannot be completed, we cancel the room before its free-cancellation deadline and everything you have paid goes into your Event Escapes Wallet in full.
