Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 01/30/2015 --We are forecasting very healthy growth across a range of key indicators for Singapore's well - established tourism market.

With 100 international airlines providing routes to more than 70 countries around the world, as well as road and rail connections to Malaysia and sea travel connections to Indonesia, Singapore has no shortage of travel options. The government is highly supportive of tourism, investing in marketing campaigns such as 'Your Singapore' and providing a USD5mn Kickstart Fund for small tourism-related enterprises. The World Travel and Tourism Council and World Tourism Organization have noted, however, that Singapore needs to overhaul its visa system if it is to attract more visitors from key source markets such as Russia and China.
