A bridge between the East and the West for centuries, Singapore is located in the heart of fascinating Southeast Asia. Singapore and its immediate neighbours form the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN. Consisting of 10 member countries, it is touted as the home of Asia’s Perfect 10 paradise.
With world cultural and natural heritage sites such as Angkor Wat, Borobodur, Prambanan, Komodo National Park, world class resorts, boutique hotels, pristine beaches and other natural sights within a 3 hour flight radius, Singapore is indeed the gateway to the many exotic cultures and sights.
To this end, attendees of the APSC are able to cherry pick from the various tours conducted within the region and bring back with them their preferred Far Eastern experience from the range of tours offered.
As a cruise hub in the Asia-Pacific region, Singapore offers a diverse selection of vacations to nearby tropical destinations like the Malaysian resort islands of Redang, Penang and Langkawi. To further cater to the increasing number of large international cruise liners that choose Singapore as one of their port of calls, Singapore has recently opened a new International Cruise Terminal which is able to berth the largest cruise ships in the world. There are now a total of two cruise terminals in Singapore.
