I was very excited to hear Andrea was giving me the opportunity to travel to Singapore. It would be my first time to this country. I heard Singapore is very clean and a beautiful country, so it’s my turn to have an adventure.
Exactly that I been expect to see and more. I can tell Singapore is a beautiful country and the people living in the modern life. The public transportation is very organized with a smooth process. It’s a very clean country with good environment with the combination of building and trees along the road. There are a lot of shopping centers that made it easy to buy stuff there.
I went to see the ITB Asia Conference, the trade show of the Asia Travel Market. There were many companies in the tourism industry that came to set up the booths and sell their product. It felt great to be there because I can see how people present their products from different properties. There were a lot of them such as ministries of tourism, hotels, resorts, Inns, travel agents and more.
The other one that I joined is the Condé Nast Travel World Saver Congress. This is my third time at this conference and it feels like new every time because I can see and meet different people from around the world. People come to talk and discuss how the tourism industry can help and give back to the community and also protect the environment in a sustainable way.
We also went to the Singapore Botanic Garden and it made me really amazed how a small country like this can have the beautiful nature, as I never expected to see. Before my last day there we went to Universal Studio, it’s a great place to go for the roller coaster ride and more.
From this trip I feel like I learned more about the development, people, how tourism can save the world and more.
We’re happy you were invited to go, too, Narla. Thanks for the update and all the great photos. We grow orchids, too so it was especially lovely to see your picture of the dendrobium spray (white ones with dark pink, lots of flowers on one branch.) You look very handsome in your suit and tie. I hope it didn’t rain all day when you were at Universal Studios. 🙁
Tahnk you Janet, this is my first trip there. Love the city and the orchids there so beautiful, me too, I really love the one in this blog. This one is my favorite. I’m feel good that I can took some good photos. I feel a little fancy with suit and tie but your comment made me have a big smile 🙂 I love the Universal Studios.
Wonderful! I’d like to visit the city again. Read my trip report http://ajaykishoreblog.blogspot.in/2011/12/trip-to-lion-city-november-2010.html
love your post! Thanks! 🙂 I think you really had a great trip.
There you can find many homestay host family to live with. They are kind and friendly. You can manage to learn their culture and communication behavior. You also can go to the local visiting places with them.
