Your Singapore
By: The Editor | May 3, 2010 – 9:11 am | No Comment
Your Singapore

Singapore has often been viewed as a plane refuelling stop or place to change planes. How many people stop off and explore the island?
That preconception may be about to change as the Singapore Tourist Board launches a campaign called “Your Singapore.” From the press release at the end of April you wouldn’t know what Singapore offered as it was couched in marketing speak and little else.
Although launched in the beginning of March, it is only this week that it is being rolled out across Europe. It was still one of those Far Eastern destinations where the occasional free stopover was thrown in to encourage you, as you flew on to Australia or New Zealand. Then, they encouraged you to get out of the airport for a few hours in between flights to see the sights. Now, “Your Singapore” is pushing the idea of shortbreaks.
