SINGAPORE : Sentosa is aiming to bring in the crowds with a number of new tourist attractions next year.
Among the new attractions that will be open in the first quarter of next year is a water sports centre, with a fleet of charter boats.
Also in the pipeline is a S$15 million simulated wave surfing facility, where surfers can ride a 10-foot barrelling wave.
Indoor sky diving will be offered in the second quarter.
Sentosa Leisure Group's new CEO, Mike Barclay, expects the new attractions and the opening of the integrated resort to double the number of visitors annually.
He said: "In terms of the number of guests we have coming to the island, we are currently about 6.1 million, 6.2 million a year. We see that increasing to as high as 15 million by the year 2015.
"The Resorts World at Sentosa is coming on line at 2010 and we will be progressively opening, and that itself is going to attract 9 million, 10 million (visitors) a year." - CNA/ms
