More UK visitors to Singapore in September

More UK visitors to Singapore in September
The Singapore Tourism Board has released figures showing that the city state saw a 3.2 per cent year-on-year increase in visitors from the UK in September.

There were some 34,000 arrivals from the UK, representing growth that was largely attributed to the Formula One night race that was held in Singapore on September 28th.

Recent years have seen the UK become one of Singapore's most important source markets in Europe, with more than 495,000 visitors in 2007.

Divya Panickar of the Singapore Tourism Board said: "Singapore is inspiring more travellers to visit by hosting world-class events such as the Grand Prix, which Singapore will host for the next four years, as well as undertaking a number of substantial development projects.

"2009 and 2010 will see the launch of two exciting integrated resorts – Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa – as well as Singapore's first reservoir in the city with a range of water-based activities."

In January 2009 Singapore will host the Volvo Ocean Race, serving as the fourth port in the event before the competitors continue to Rio de Janeiro, Boston, Stockholm and other destinations.

The south-east Asian city state will make history in 2010 when it holds the inaugural Youth Olympic Games from August 14th to 26th.

Fly and Discover Asia
Asia. Such an all-encompassing word to cover such a varied continent. From the Buddist temples in the Tibetan mountains, to the jungles of India with a sprinkling of the Middle East, Asia has a whole world of culture to be explored. Whether you're going for two weeks, or two months there are packages to suit and with a high emphasis on service quality present in most areas, you'll find the stress taken out of a multi-destination trip.
