| Despite a lack of natural resources, or perhaps because of it, Singapore has capitalised on the energy, enterprise and skills of its inhabitants to create something approaching a tourist mecca. Although most tourists only stop over for a couple of days in transit, many are beginning to stay longer and Singapore has much to merit a longer visit. This is a city where the first impression is that of man’s achievements; the efficient and aesthetically pleasing Changi Airport is repeatedly voted the world’s best. But here, world firsts are becoming commonplace, for example Suntec City boasts the biggest man-made fountain; and the Night Safari is the first night zoo. |
