Abstract
This chapter proposes a blueprint for the development of the Free Port of Vladivostok that draws upon the experience of Singapore. Vladivostok is a small town, with a population of about 600,000 people, located amid economic giants of a dynamic Pacific region. Similarly, Singapore is a small, nimble city-state, with a population pushing 6,000,000 people, in Southeast Asia; nestled amongst a mix of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) neighbours. Like Singapore, Vladivostok seeks to capitalise on her geographical location and replicate the development success of Singapore. This chapter highlights the attributes of Singapore’s economic progress and how the Free Port of Vladivostok can overcome its development hurdles by considering the milestones of the city-state’s achievements. The chapter begins with exploring the background of the Russian Far East and the Free Port of Vladivostok, and continues with a discussion on the experience of Singapore’s development trajectory. Relevant cases regarding the Free Port of Vladivostok and medical tourism will be presented concurrently with policy recommendations and potential constraints, which conclude this chapter.
