This paper uses input-output methodology to analyze the economic impact of Singapore's tourist industry and to evaluate its prospects for development. The overall impact has been favorable and current plans for tourism promotion are in thr right direction. Singapore's role as a gateway into the region is being eclipsed because of development of tourist sectors in more land-abundant countries, as well as its own diversification into an international business and convention hub. Growth in tourism is constrained by more than labor and capacity such as hotel rooms, other facilities, and availability of plane seats. As tourism is personalized and service-oriented, Singapore needs to continue its human resource development.
