Singapore’s tourism and hospitality sector has always been one of the
country’s largest industries, in terms of its GDP impact as well as its total
employment size. As of 2016, Singapore’s tourism sector managed to achieve a
record-breaking performance, with much of the credit going to tourist spendings
on accommodation, food and beverage and also shopping [1]. By investing on
skills and knowledge in the field of hospitality management, one can expect to
leverage on the opportunities presented by this lavishing industrial sector.
