Integrated Resorts add $3.7B to economy

Integrated Resorts contributed largely to last year's tourism boom that brought S$7.9 billion in valued-added in the first nine months of 2010.

According to the Ministry of Trade and Industry, about half of this amount or S$3.7 billion in value-added came from tourists who traveled to Singapore specifically because of the two IRs. This amounts to 1.7 per cent of nominal gross domestic product – GDP that is not adjusted for inflation.

This puts the IRs well on track to meet the S$5.4 billion target by 2015.

Tourist spending at the IRs also created some 30,300 jobs in the first three quarters of last year, about a quarter of the 111,500 new jobs generated by overall tourist spending in the same period.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
