Calcutta: From lip smacking street cuisine for the foodie to reverse bungee jumping for the adventure seeker, Singapore has something for every traveller.

India is among the top three source markets for tourists to Singapore. The island has received over 6 lakh visitors from India from January to May, reporting a 17 per cent jump over the same period in 2017.

"Calcutta is among the top contributors to this figure and one of our key focus areas," Yuemin Li Misra, area director (north and east India) of the Singapore Tourism Board, said at a programme in the city on Friday.

The board has embarked on a road show in eight cities - including Calcutta - in association with close to 40 stakeholders from July 16 to 26. The road show, titled "Passion Made Possible", is part of the board's efforts to showcase Singapore's diverse offerings to diverse segments.

Foodies can treat themselves to delicious street food as well as sumptuous meals at Michelin-starred restaurants.

Similarly, adventure seekers can head to the newly opened bungee jump tower in Sentosa and beach bums can surf up at the Wave House, also in Sentosa.

Walking tours of heritage precincts at Chinatown, Kampong Glam and Joo Chiat offer a peek into the cultural melting pot that Singapore is. Art lovers can go on an art trail in the Bugis precinct and check out the Singapore Art Museum and the National Museum.

The Singapore zoo and its night safari - the world's first safari park for nocturnal animals - are a hot favourite with tourists. The latest nocturnal attraction is the Rainforest Lumina - a night walk unveiled in July to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the zoo. The kilometre-long trail is decked out with interactive lights, sound installations and multimedia projections.

"A two-year Singapore visa offers multiple entries during that period. Several tourists from Calcutta go back for a repeat visit, often clubbing it with other areas like Malaysia," said Anil Punjabi, the chairman (east) of the Travel Agents' Federation of India.

"Most Calcuttans go to Singapore on a family vacation. There is a section of Calcuttans who go there to study, besides a handful of Formula One fans who go there to enjoy the races," he added.
