Singapore Tourism Board

And finally, Singapore will host a month-long series of BTS-themed events from December 1st to 31st as part of the group's immersive BTS The City Arirang experience.

The Singapore Tourism Board and HYBE announced that Singapore will be the initiative's only stop in Southeast Asia, in addition to BTS performances over four nights in the country.

Activities will include music and light shows at Jewel Changi Airport, art trails at the National Gallery Singapore, fireworks at Universal Studios Singapore and drone displays on Sentosa.

Landmarks around Marina Bay and the Singapore River will also glow red nightly from December 8 to 22.

And in fact, you, you maybe...

Like, we'll have to like re- share that Singapore Tourism Board actually, uh, recently, uh- Recommended.

Our, our Shake Hand brand product is one of the 13 thir- three zero non-edible items that tourists in Singapore must buy.

We are the only brand of product recommended.

Uh, let me show you the photos of some of these products, yeah?

Sure.

Uh, so this is recommended by Singapore Tourism Board.

When is this, uh?

Tourist spending in Singapore fell in the second quarter of this year as fewer visitors arrived amid global uncertainty.

Figures from the Singapore Tourism Board show tourism receipts dropped 6.2% to $7.21 billion, while visitor arrivals fell 6.6%.

The STB says the Middle East conflict has pushed up fuel costs, reduced flight capacity and affected international travel.

Still, tourism spending for the first half of the year held up, dipping just 0.3% to $15.71 billion.

That's part of my family culture.

It's very convenient that the Singapore Tourism Board reached out to us and considered us as, uh, collaborators, uh, to see if we could help feature Katong-Joo Chiat as another new precinct for tourists to visit.

For most visitors, Katong and Joo Chiat is the headline Peranakan neighborhood in Singapore.

You see it from the articles in the press and social media videos.

But I think Singapore is diversifying.

And also, I think looking at the Singapore Tourism Board's outlook, it looks like they are investing in some creating some kind of venues and facilities.

places to afford such big, such events, big and small events here.

I wanted to ask about what you mentioned earlier, pricing, right? Because we can lose out on ticket pricing due to the fact that we are just that much more expensive.

OK, besides the UN reports, I had very useful information in the writings of the SPUR civil society group, the Singapore Planning and Urban Research Group in the 1960s and early 70s.

In 1986, a group of leading architects were commissioned by the Singapore Tourism Board to study the making of Chinatown into a shopping area, into a tourist area.

So that was very useful as well.

Their point of view, their criticisms of the idea about how to make Chinatown a successful tourist area.

And in 2000, the Singapore Heritage Society responded to the revitalization program by the Singapore Tourism Board with its own report on making Chinatown a more vibrant place and how to help many of the struggling businesses.

And that, you know, it should not be made into a theme park, as they called it.

I looked at a number of memoirs by Si Jing, Eddie Chan and Geraldine Lowe Ismael as three of these people who spent so much of their time in Chinatown and so much love for Chinatown.
