Singapore eyes sporting events growth
Singapore Tourist Board (STB) has revealed it plans to expand its calendar of sporting events and infrastructure in the coming years to boost tourism to the city-state.
As well as staging the Youth Olympic Games in two weeks, the city will host a Formula 1 race in September and plans to open new sporting facilities in 2014.
“Sporting events are taking on a new dimension in Singapore,” STB Regional Director for Europe John Conceicao told Travel Daily. “We built a national stadium in 1970 but we have outgrown it so we will have a new sports hub.” Conceicao revealed the stadium will feature an open-roof as well as a section that will remain open to Singapore Harbour providing spectators the ability to view ocean going events.
