The ASEAN Awards for Excellence in Tourism gives recognition to ASEAN organizations who have contributed to the development and promotion of tourism in the Southeast Asian region including, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
Laservision's Wonder Full light and water spectacular was selected as the Best New Tourist Attraction for its "creativity in design, functionality, harmony with the environment and the overall quality experienced by audiences".
The award recognises Laservision's continual contribution in delivering new and innovative solutions to the tourism industry stimulating economic development within the region, a statement reads. The Singaporean Tourism Board (STB) represented by the Assistant Chief Executive of the International Group & Corporate Development, Lawrence Leong, was present to celebrate the success of the accomplishment.
In accepting the award, Laservision's Shannon Brooks (director of projects and marketing) stated: "Laservision has a long and enviable track record of producing number one night time Tourist Attractions around the globe. From Singapore's 'Wonder Full' light and water spectacular to Hong Kong's 'Symphony of Lights', the Guinness World Record for the largest light and sound show in the World. The recognition by ASEANTA of this success brings credibility to companies like Laservision who are at the forefront of the entertainment and attractions for the tourism industry."
The 360 degree multimedia attraction entertains millions of spectators around Marina Bay, acting as a beacon across the bay, drawing audiences and onlookers to the Integrated Resort. Recognised as Southeast Asia's largest light and water show, the 13 minute, multi-sensory spectacular explores humanity and the beauty of the human life through original Singaporean footage, in harmony with a culturally customised Sound Score and an abundance of mediums spanning the 20 hectare Marina Bay Sands Site.
