Description

<p>This study clarifies the growth process of Singapore, which has become an international tourism hub, in terms of tourism development. The success of the tourism industry in Singapore is attributed to continued aggressive government initiatives to develop it, while exploiting the inherent geographic and linguistic advantages. Immediately after independence, tourism development was a means for acquiring foreign currency and creating jobs. After 2010, as seen in the development of the meetings, incentive travel, conventions, and exhibitions (MICE) subsector and the success of integrated resorts, the tourism industry also began to play an important role in strengthening the international competitiveness of Singapore. In particular, the development of large-scale, symbolic tourism and MICE facilities in the central area has greatly contributed to the improvement of functions as an international tourism hub.</p>
