What to Expect/ Covid-19 Concerns

Given that  works predominantly on an online platform, most of our operations have not and will not be impacted too greatly. We intend to still promote and highlight different and unique markets in the world and expose them to the Singaporean market. 

That being said, there are still restrictions to what we can accomplish on a web-based platform, while also having to adhere to the social distancing measures in Singapore.
