In the area of arts, Singapore should try to improve further, besides having an Esplanade. There can be other bigger theatre which can accommodate more people. As such, more tourists can come to Singapore.

In our opinion, since Singapore is working towards a regional educational and health hub, Singapore can also integrate itself as a regional art hub.The ideas can be generated from the neighbouring countries and be applied in the aspects of architecture, fashion,interior designs,attractions etc.It would be great if the resources used are environmental friendly! Abstract arts can be used in public places like the shopping centres,void decks,public toilets or certain grafitti used for decorations along the streets.

Different performances should be held more frequently, over a month. In addition, different variety of performances ranging from comedies show musical show, chinese arts performances etc,which are suitable for the young and the old can be put up at a reasonable price. More daring performances are highly recommended. Singapore can engage performers from other country and organize performances which Singapore seldom have. It would be more attractive if international festivals can be held here, together with more collaborations with the tour agencies and intermedaries.

In the area of cultures and heritage, we think that Singapore should try to emphasize it more to its people through organising more exhibitions. Exhibitions can be held in school, shopping centre or even at a museum whereby people need to pay to enter.This provides an alternative for people to gain knowledge of a town without the need to be physically exploring the heritage places such as Chinatown or Little India, which is very clinche.Large scale exhibitions can be held at tourist attraction areas too.The content of the exhibitions should include the history of the place, the cultures and beliefs that the people shared, the kind of festivals that they celebrated and more importantly, how they are able to live so harmoniously. Afterall, Singapore is often marketed as a cosmopolitan country.

Through this,not only can the younger generation of Singapore learn to appreciate the past, but also tourists will gain a different forms of experience. Again, tour agency can design the iterinaries that offers more of the hands-on experience for the tourists. Take more instance, tourists get a chance to learn the art of making tea, or even try eating the Indian foods using their left hand. Those tourists who visit Singapore in the month of May can get to learn how to make dumplings. We are sure these are apppealing and interesting activities that make tourists feel that their trip to this little country is worth their time and their money.

We would like to praise Singapore for its efforts integrate art in a heritage place like Fort Canning Park.The sculptures contributed by the ASEAN countries are very significant. Perharps, an even major artwork can be put on display in places like Clarke Quay which contains a lot of historical backgrounds.

Besides that, history of Singapore can be shown in esplanade or other theatre to let people know about how Singapore survive through World War 2 and becomes independent.People tends to be inclined towards visuals, hence it is advisable that Singapore can locally make flims or arts performances that depicts a story of this little red dot and the cultures and beliefs of our ancestors.

To conclude, indeed Singapore are trying hard to preserve the authenticity and promotes the arts, but it is not that effective to attract a lot of foreigners to come to Singapore. There is still rooms for improvements.=)
