Abstract
Abstract Singapore is a popular tourist destination, ranked second in Asia and eleventh worldwide in tourism receipts. Given this island-state's small size and international appeal, Singapore could easily succumb to the ravages of mass tourism. Instead, Singapore's combination of high incomes and a strong local currency in an open economy, a fiercely independent sense of cultural and national identity, strict immigration and local laws, and environmentally sensitive policies and attitudes make this city-state largely immune to the undesirable and contaminating effects of unmanaged mass tourism. If those current conditions, policies, initiatives, and attitudes prevail, tourism in Singapore will not only continue to be sustainable, but will continue to be welcomed by residents.
