Since Resorts World Sentosa’s opening in January 2010, its unique and integrated offerings have dramatically augmented Sentosa’s positioning as ‘Asia’s Favourite Playground’. Coupled with the opening of five other new attractions and the upswing in the global economy, Sentosa’s total island visitorship has seen a more than two-fold increase, including more Free Independent Travellers (FITs). Hotel occupancy and revenues have also registered an upward trend. These have positively impacted attractions revenues across the island. At the national level, the Singapore Tourism Board has been reporting a more than 20 per cent increase in tourist arrivals for the first half of 2010 as compared to last year.
