Singapore<\/span> is banking on lavish beachfronts, canopy walks, a transformed port and even water taxis to upgrade its holiday island, Sentosa, into a major tourism draw over the next two decades \u2013 but observers say the challenge will be in guaranteeing distinctiveness.<\/div>\n

On Friday, the Sentosa Development Corporation (SDC) unveiled plans to rejuvenate the 5 sq km resort and theme park island, which is located 10 minutes from the Singapore mainland by monorail and is also accessible by car or bus through a bridge.<\/p>\n

The Sentosa upgrade will also integrate neighbouring Pulau Brani, with a current port on the 1.22 sq km land mass to be progressively decommissioned by 2027.<\/p>\n

SDC chief Thien Kwee Eng told the media during a briefing on Wednesday that the master plan focused on shaping Sentosa\u2019s future while staying true to what Singaporeans and tourists loved about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to create the next generation of world-class experiences inspired by our beautiful coastlines, our greenery, our heritage, our sense of escape as well as the Singapore identity,\u201d Thien said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the same time, we want to grow Sentosa thoughtfully, and protect the island\u2019s soul, while making it easier to explore, to access and to enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Key features of the upgrade that were announced include Brani West, which will be one of the largest sites for attractions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
