ABOUT

WATG’s inaugural student design competition titled “Reimagine The Future of Hospitality with A.I.” is aimed at harnessing the ingenious potential of young minds in redefining the way we conceive and design through A.I. The objective is to empower students’ spirit of experimentation to explore the forefront of innovation and creativity in the rapidly evolving field of A.I.

As the leading integrated design firm for luxury hospitality projects, WATG have been pushing the boundaries of possibilities since their dawning days in Honolulu in 1945. Ahead of their 80th anniversary in 2025, the competition marks a celebration of their legacy in hospitality and pioneering spirit in constant reinvention and innovation.

Wellness tourism is projected to grow by 16.6% annually, reaching $1.4 trillion in 2027 (source: Global Wellness Institute). As wellness becomes a core offering especially within the luxury hospitality experience, its growing prominence brings evolution, innovation and nuance in wellness programming to include physical, mental and spiritual wellness.

Participants are invited to conjure up a new tourist destination using A.I. tools that is centered around a fresh concept of wellness and explain the design direction and intent.

Think beyond image generation to uncover the potential of a variety of A.I. tools and how they can come together for problem solving with unexpected creative outputs.

How can A.I. enhance the guest experience of the future?

10 finalists will be selected to present their ideas in front of an illustrious panel of judges and a live audience during an event on 4 October 2024, Friday, 5.00pm, at the WATG Singapore office. The top 3 finalists will then be selected by the judges to win.

Call for entries end on 25 September 2024. Full competition details are available on their website www.watg.com/sdw-design-competition and social channels @watgdesigns

This event is supported by PTC System (S) Pte Ltd.
