SINGAPORE - Come 2030, visitors to Sentosa will be greeted by a transformed landscape, featuring a cluster of buildings studded with lush greenery and a column of shimmering light.
In all, the expansion plans will see the existing RWS property expanded by about 50 per cent, adding more than 164,000 sqm of new gross floor area, said Genting Singapore. The first phase of the expansion, centred on non-gaming attractions, kicked off in the second quarter of 2022. Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, Minister of State for Trade and Industry Alvin Tan noted how the IRs are continuing to innovate and refresh their offerings “to stay ahead, especially with intensifying global competition”.
Both of Singapore’s Integrated Resorts , RWS and Marina Bay Sands , have been aggressively ramping up hospitality offerings in a bid to draw more visitors. Both IRs opened in 2010.alongside an update that approximately 1,540 new rooms, including 635 suites, have been refurbished across all three towers as part of a multi-year, US$1.75 billion reinvestment programme that kicked off in 2022.
Buoyed by the return of Chinese travellers, Singapore’s international visitors arrivals currently stand at 13.9 million as at Oct 31, edging close to the Singapore Tourism Board’s 2024 forecast of 15 to 16.5 million.
