Overview
Tourism is one of the largest service sectors in Singapore. As of 2007, the tourism industry contributed 3% to Singapore's GDP, and generated US$ 9.4 billion in tourism receipts. This clearly shows the important role the tourism industry plays in Singapore's economy. To ensure that tourism remains a key economic pillar, a bold target, Tourism 2015, was unveiled in the year 2005. The major objectives of the initiative are to triple tourism receipts to US$ 30 billion, double visitor arrivals to 17 million, and create an additional 100,000 jobs in the service sector by 2015, according to "Opportunities in Singapore Tourism Industry (2007-2009)".
Singapore is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Asia-Pacific region. The tourism industry in Singapore has been growing very rapidly for the past several years. This industry is further strengthened by the infrastructure developments, various events and the country's strategic location in the heart of the region.
