Sentosa restaurants increasing due to weddings and upcoming casino
Restaurants have tripled over the past two years on Singapore’s Sentosa Island. It looks the island is starting to attract weddings, which have increased the demand for food and beverages. In addition, the restaurant owners have their eye on the opening of Resorts World at Sentosa, which will open in a few years, as a source of increased visitation.
From the article:
And such developments have attracted more food & beverage outlets to start up on Sentosa - from just three in 2005 to nine outlets today.
Said Thomas Teo, Managing Director Wine Network: “Before this, a lot of (F&Bs) went into Sentosa and didn’t quite make it; they were struggling. With the new setting and the new policies, and the IR (integrated resort) coming in, it’s a whole new ball game altogether.
“Within the next three years, when the IR comes in with the mega hotels with the casinos, we believe the traffic is going to grow by many, many times. We believe we can tap on that.”
