Sentosa is a 500 hectare island separated from Singapore by a short bridge. It offers a unique blend of leisure and recreational experiences including family attractions, heritage sites, cultural attractions, sandy beaches, rainforest, water sports, golf courses and resort hotels.
"As we reach our five year milestone in the rejuvenation of Sentosa Island, I would like to thank you for your valuable contributions as a member of our International Advisory Council. Your efforts and vision were instrumental in repositioning Sentosa into a world-class lifestyle and leisure destination.
Five years into implementing our 10 year master-plan, the Sentosa-Harbourfront Precinct today has seen over US$6 billion of investments, of which more than 90% came from the private sector. Both our annual island attendance and group profit hit record highs for the year 2006 at 5.7 million and US$900 million respectively. With the recent award of the Universal Studios family resort, this multi-billion project will be amongst one of the last developments on Sentosa Island. What we had originally set out to achieve in 10 years, is now well on its way to completion 2 years ahead of schedule.
Needless to say, Sentosa’s success today would not have been possible without your contribution and encouragement".
