The site failed to receive submissions during its launch in 2022.

Despite receiving no submissions when it was launched in March 2022, the Singapore Tourism Board remains confident about the tourism potential of the Jurong Lake District site.

This was revealed by Minister of State for Trade and Industry, Low Yen Ling, in her response to the Parliament.

Citing STB, Low added that the site is adjacent to the new Science Centre and Jurong Lake Gardens
To recall, a request for proposal for a new tourism development at a site in Jurong Lake District was launched in March 2022 and closed in October 2022.

“The war in Ukraine coupled with the overall slowdown in the global economy created an uncertain economic environment during that period, especially for the tourism sector,” Low said.

“We are monitoring market sentiments and exploring other possibilities to harness this potential,” Low said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
