Tourism strengthens Singapore’s position as a vibrant city, enriches local experiences and reinforces our national story. We will continue to expand our leisure offerings and activate playful opportunities in our public spaces for locals and visitors to have fun anywhere and everywhere in the city.

East Coast - Changi A popular leisure destination that will continue to support a wide variety of green, blue and play spaces, and the possibility for new waterfront attractions.
Downtown, Civic District and Orchard Road A thriving leisure and business belt right in the heart of our city, with rich heritage and a diverse array of arts and culture, lifestyle, entertainment, hospitality, and MICE offerings.
Greater Southern Waterfront An area with distinctive industrial heritage and character, and an extraordinary location for waterfront live, work and play.
Sentosa-Brani and the Southern Islands An “island playground” that brings together high-energy world-class attractions and theme parks as well as special charm of the islands built upon their rich natural and cultural heritage.
Our tourism landscape will keep pace with the latest trends through the introduction of new attractions and rejuvenation of familiar ones.
Since opening in 2010, our two integrated resorts have enriched our tourism offerings and enhanced our position as a global city for business and leisure tourism. There are plans to further expand these developments with the introduction of new, world-class attractions, facilities and experiences.
Next to the existing development will be a new state-of-art 15,000 seat entertainment arena as well as additional MICE space.

There will also be a new tower comprising an all-suite luxury hotel that will be topped with a sky roof attraction, a swimming pool and other lifestyle amenities
Its popular Universal Studios Singapore will be refreshed and expanded, while the current S.E.A. Aquarium will be enlarged into a new Singapore Oceanarium that is three times its current size. A new driverless transport system will also enhance connection accessibility between the mainland and Sentosa.

Five zoological parks will be located within one precinct to provide distinctive wildlife experiences. Carefully designed to be sensitive to the surrounding flora and fauna, the zoological parks will also be integrated with nature-based experiences, green public spaces and an eco-friendly resort to offer a wide range of community recreation and tourism options.
The new tourism development next to Jurong Lake will comprise attractions, hotel, retail, F&B and entertainment offerings — all with an emphasis on technology, edutainment and sustainability.

Expected to be realised from 2028, it will complement nearby attractions such as the new Science Centre and Jurong Lake Gardens.
To optimise land use, we will continue to find innovative ways to facilitate the rejuvenation of familiar attractions and diversify our tourism offerings. Creative programming and technologies can also create new play possibilities that transcend physical spaces.
Orchard Road holds a special place in the hearts of many Singaporeans. To ensure its continued vibrancy, we have facilitated various innovative development concepts.
For instance, a vacant parcel at Somerset will house Trifecta, Asia’s first virtual reality ski and snowboarding arena, a wave pool for surfing and the world’s first hybrid skate bowl designed for skateboarding and surfskating when it opens in 2023. More than just a shopping street, we hope to inject more buzz and differentiated lifestyle experiences along Orchard Road, so that there is something for everyone to discover and enjoy.
Spanning over 3,000m2, Singapore Art Museum (SAM)'s contemporary art space in Tanjong Pagar Distripark is a new destination for novel art experiences.
The expansive and versatile spaces allow for large-scale installations and support collaborations between partners, artists and audiences. Setting up at Tanjong Pagar signals a shift away from the four walls of a museum, as part of SAM’s plans to curate art experiences in unexpected and everyday spaces, across multiple locations in Singapore.
Set amidst lush greenery on hilly waterfront terrain, Changi Point is a popular recreational district with its idyllic vibe, rustic charm and rich heritage. Building on these unique characteristics, plans are in the pipeline to enhance Changi Point as a heritage and recreational node along the Greater Rustic Coast.
Imagine hill-hugging forest trails extending out into the sea. Watch sailboats and other sea sports from the coastal boardwalk and enjoy the sunset from the beach. Marvel at the stars and glimpse aircraft taking flights from terraces and rooftops in the heritage buildings. There could also be new offerings housed in the former military barracks and Old Changi Hospital. By preserving and enhancing the best of what Changi Point has to offer, we will ensure that it remains a gem in the east.
From placing pianos in public spaces to closing off roads for street festivals, everywhere in Singapore can be activated to offer serendipitous and accessible play. We will facilitate more moments of fun and delight to energise people and encourage interactions, amid our cityscape.
