ABOUT SINGAPORE
Singapore is a vibrant modern city-state of 3 million people and one of
Asia's four economic dragons. Situated at the southern tip of Malaysia and
in the heart of South East Asia, Singapore's geographical location has
helped her become the regional centre for trade, banking, tourism and
communications, with the world's busiest port and an
internationally-acclaimed airport which is consistently voted the world's
best. To top it all, Singapore has conference facilities that rank amongst
the finest in the world.
Singapore is a place where East meets West. Here you will find Chinese,
Malays, Indians and Eurasians living harmoniously together. English is
spoken everywhere and is the common business language of all.
Singapore has a pleasant, warm climate all year round, with temperatures
ranging from 28(superscript: o)C in the day to 23(superscript: o)C by
night. There is a rainy season from November to January. However, showers
seldom last long and they provide a cool respite.
Few places on earth promise such a delight for the palate, with gourmet
cuisine ranging from Chinese, Malay and Indian to Mexican, Japanese and
Italian. Shopping in Singapore is also about variety, quality, value for
money and excellent service. From the latest in electronics, traditional
crafts, European high fashion and traditional Asian wares to computer
software, you will find it all here in Singapore.
Theme parks, nature reserves and beach resorts are just some of Singapore's
attractions that bring visitors from around the world. Singapore's unique
central position in the South East Asian region and excellent transport
infrastructure also provides quick and easy access to idyllic tropical
retreats in Malaysia and Indonesia. Singapore is the tourism hub for tours
and cruises around the region.
