Sweeteners for tourists during Great Singapore Sale
25 May 2006 2011 hrs (SST) 1211 hrs (GMT)
Tourists spent a whopping $650 million during last year's Great Singapore Sale, and the Singapore Tourism Board hopes to top that this season.
Joycelyn Ng, STB's Deputy Director of Leisure Marketing and Events, said: "Last June and July we had 1.6 million visitors during the Sale. For this year, we hope to do better. Right now hotels are operating at close to capacity so we will not expect a quantum leap in terms of visitor arrivals. But obviously we do hope to see an increase in numbers, and more importantly, visitor spending."
The Great Singapore Sale will last for eight weeks, from 26 May to 23 July.
And the tourism board has been marketing it worldwide, through print, television, Internet and direct mail.
Special events like the Great Singapore Sale Challenge have generated interest, attracting 17 foreign teams from countries like Dubai and Vietnam.
The Challenge will see groups of shoppers pitted against one another to get the best bargains out of an allotted $1,000.
Tourists can also look forward to 50 per cent price discounts for products like Apple's iPod Nano and the Creative Zen Neeon.
There will also be free drinks, body and foot massages, and even a complimentary chauffeur-driven limousine to ferry tourists back to their hotels from Orchard Road when they can't take one step further.
Shopping has taken up about half of annual tourist expenditure in Singapore over the past years.
That's about $3 billion. And 20 per cent of that came from the Great Singapore Sale last year.
STB's Joycelyn Ng said: "(There are) various shopping options, not just high-end. We have various ethnic shopping areas, suburban retail malls. These are things that we have going for us to make us a compelling shopping destination."
"Singapore has a lot to offer. Apart from just shopping, there's eating, great entertainment, 24-hour precincts, entertainment, nightspots," she added. - CNA/ir
