What A Feelin5
For its fifth anniversary, Jewel has planned a year-long series of special events and retail offers under the theme “What A Feelin5”, designed to evoke positive emotions through varied experiences. James Fong, CEO of Jewel Changi Airport Development, stated, “Five years ago our shareholders – Changi Airport Group and CapitaLand – embarked on a bold mission to redefine the airport experience. Today we stand proud as a global icon well-loved by both local residents and travelers. As Jewel celebrates five years of creating the sparkling experience for its visitors, we continue to stay true to our commitment to deliver world-class visitor experiences with our attractions, retail, and dining offerings. We are thrilled to announce a series of new flagship store openings and new-to-market brands as well as a behind-the-scenes tour for the Jewel Rain Vortex that has long captured the imagination of our visitors. New experiences and a series of events and Jewel-exclusive offerings will also be introduced throughout the year.”
“As we look forward to more exciting years ahead, we wish to thank Singaporeans and guests from around the world for their love and extend our appreciation to our tenants and partners who have stood shoulder to shoulder with us all this time."
