Singapore Calling

Imagine spending time in a place known as the ‘Crossroads of Asia' - a nudge north of the Equator - where the sun shines every day. Singapore is exactly that spot.

Here you will find an ethnic mixture of Chinese, Malay and Indian races that form the fabric of the nation. All three come together in a mixture of unique tastes, styles and cultures. 

A one-time part of Peninsular Malaysia, independent, modern-day Singapore has become an example of widespread success ---  from Regional Financial Centre to Global Tourist Haven.

For the visitor Singapore offers just about everything one could ask from a holiday destination...and it's getting better.

There are numerous hotels to consider ... starting with the iconic Raffles, a great number of five star hostelries are also on offer as well as budget locations in the outlying suburbs.

If it's Shopping that appeals, here you can find Upmarket Boutiques with the classiest of names on their doors. So - if fashion is your passion : Singapore's the place to be.

And if it's Eating that appeals -  Singapore is a great spot to try alendless exotic dishes. Any time is a great time for a gastronomic adventure in Singapore - whatever your tastes.

Chinese, Malay, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Thai and other Asian signature dishes beckon the hungry traveller - all guarantee an experience unique and authentic. It's your choice - from local Hawker Centers to classy Skyscraper-topped fine dining.

As the Gateway to Asia, Singapore offers the likes of exotic Orchid Gardens...River Cruises, the Night Safari at Singapore Zoo...Cultural events at The Esplanade Theatres and non-stop happenings across the island that make it a tourism winner.

So if you are looking for a spot which has it all - and a touch more.
Come to Singapore...you'll be so glad you did!
