In Fast Track from Singapore, Rajan Datar explores how this tiny city state has worked hard to shed its so-called 'boring' image, reinventing itself over the last five years to become one of the most popular and aspirational destinations in Asia. We touch on the glitz and glamour on offer for visitors, from five star integrated resorts, world-class theme parks to high-end nightclubs and floating Louis Vuitton stores. But just how much more can the government build and plough into these large scale projects to keep attracting foreign tourists? We delve into the growing, grass roots tourism market - visiting some local neighbourhoods, sampling the culinary delights and visiting an island off the coast where time has stood still.
