Integrated resorts' expansion plan 2 years in the making, part of Singapore's growth strategy: Chan Chun Sing

SINGAPORE - Expanding the two integrated resorts is part of the Republic's economic strategy to"constantly refresh" job and tourism offerings here, Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing said.

Mr Chan's comments at a briefing on Friday come after the Government said on Wednesday that it was extending the exclusivity period for the casinos at Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa to operate until the end of 2030. Three more hotels, two new zones in theme park Universal Studios Singapore on Sentosa and a 15,000-seat indoor arena are among their expansion plans.About 5,000 jobs will be created with the expansion, and about two-thirds of the new roles, ranging from management positions to operations - will be filled by locals.

Mr Chan said that the growing competition for tourists and the Mice industry is another reason for Singapore to stay on its toes. Mice refers to meetings, incentive travel, conventions and exhibitions.
