We hope that delegates’ families will come to Singapore to take advantage of exploring our beautifully city. All registered accompanying persons are cordially invited to a contrasting cultural tour.

An Orientation tour of our city begins with a drive through the “Colonial Heart” for a view of the Padang , Cricket Club and the historic Parliament House, Supreme Court and City Hall. Next a stop at the Merlion Park for great views of Marina Bay and a picture taking opportunity with The Merlion, Singapore ’s well-know tourism icon, a mythological creature that is part lion and part fish.

The tour continues with a visit to the Thian Hock Keng Temple, one of the oldest Buddhist-Taoist temples on the island, before driving past Chinatown to a local handicraft centre.

From there we proceed to the National Orchid Garden located within the Singapore Botanic Gardens, which boasts a sprawling display of 60,000 orchid plants comprising 400 species and more than 2,000 hybrids. Our final stop at Little India will entice you with the scent of joss sticks, jasmine and spices.
