The big Apple. The ultimate melting pot. The city that never sleeps. Can you judge a city by the number of nicknames it is given or the popular songs written about it? If the answer is yes, then New York, New York has to be the world’s number one city for tourists and 40 million visitors each year can’t be wrong. It is the American city with the largest population and recognized as one of the largest cities in the world. Since the early 16th century, New York has been a landing place for travelers from around the world, and today many of those tourists come from the GLBT community.

New York is a city rich in gay history and a walk on the wild side of Stonewall is a gay trip back to our future. It’s been nearly four decades since the Stonewall riots and for many who have “come out” since that moment on June 28, 1969, this important piece of gay history may not be well known. On that date, and for several days after, acts of anti-gay police brutality, more specifically directed against drag queens, sparked riots that in turn sparked the start of the gay rights movement and subsequent Pride celebrations. around the world.

This confrontation was a turning point for the gay rights movement around the world, as gay and transgender people had never before acted together in such large numbers to forcibly resist police harassment.

Although the original Greenwich Village landmark of the Stonewall Inn is long gone, its namesake bar, temporarily closed for renovations, stands today on the same site as the original gay bar and hotel at 53 Christopher Street. Just walking down this street, a sense of our gay past is evident, and landmarks like the Oscar Wilde Memorial Bookstore provide information and resources on all that New York has to offer the gay traveler. There’s even an intersection with Gay Street, perhaps named for those who fought so hard for equality at a time when the GLBT community was an underground movement considered indecent, immoral and mentally ill by the vast majority in most countries.

Today, just a few blocks from this historic site on the border between Chelsea and Greenwich Village, is the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center located at 208 West 13th Street. It is the meeting place for approximately 400 gay and lesbian organizations and is perhaps the largest facility of its kind in the world. This is a busy place where community forums, dances, performances, and other events seem to happen constantly. Anyone can visit the center which is open daily from 9 am to 11 pm and provides in-depth information on all things GLBT in New York and is guaranteed a very cheerful welcome. They have a comprehensive tourism welcome pack containing information on resources, bars, publications, entertainment venues and much more. Any gay visit to New York should start here because you will likely end with a very positive gay memory of this mecca.

The island of Manhattan contains three very distinct gay neighborhoods: the East Village, Greenwich Village/Chelsea, and Hells Kitchen. Each one is clearly different, but all contain a variety of bars, clubs, restaurants, resources and attractions to make your visit a very joyful time. Although Greenwich Village is the historic part of gay New York, today most people recognize Chelsea as the true center of the community. Local historians aren’t sure when the brief migration to Chelsea actually occurred, but no one disputes that the Chelsea Gym, Cos and Food Bar were the mainstays that slowly encouraged other gay businesses to move to this village. Today it probably has the largest concentration of gay businesses to be found anywhere in the city. Unquestionably, walking along the 8th Avenue promenade is feeling the pulse and heartbeat of gay and lesbian New York.

The Chelsea district also includes some of the best gay accommodation available, which is also convenient to everything gay and straight New York has to offer its visitors. Weather permitting, you can walk from here to Times Square, Broadway, the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, Central Park, and many other well-known city attractions.

An important fact about accommodation in New York is the size of the rooms: small is the universal standard. Whether it’s a house, a store, a park or a hotel room, space is a very limited commodity in Manhattan and very little allows for the luxury of the size you may be accustomed to on your other trips. Perhaps the only exception to this would be the meatloaf found in the many bars and clubs! But there are different kinds of luxury and this is part of what makes this city unique and you soon adjust to being a New Yorker. After all, there’s so much to see and do that you’ll probably find yourself alone in your hotel room for a minimum of hours each day when exhaustion takes over and you have to sleep for a short while.

A very good, reasonably priced, conveniently located accommodation option in Chelsea is the popular gay Colonial House Inn. This is a converted four-story walk-up Victorian building with recently renovated comfortable rooms, a clothing-optional rooftop terrace, a main floor lounge and breakfast room. An expanded continental breakfast is served daily and there is wireless Internet as well as a computer kiosk on the main floor. The staff are helpful, knowledgeable and friendly, always ready to make your visit a perfect experience and hopefully we will welcome you again. No matter how long your stay, this is a city that demands a return visit, if not again and again, then to enjoy it all to the fullest.

Sightseeing in New York is one of the most obvious vacation choices for all tourists, and initially, to get a perspective on the city, it’s best to see the sights from up high. The best-known viewpoint is at the top of the Empire State Building, where Manhattan is a big rug beneath you. However, after a twenty-year closure to the public, the recently reopened Observation Deck at Rockefeller Center offers a view that includes the Empire State Building and is less crowded with shorter lines to access, plus you can reserve a time slot. to ride the elevator to the top. No matter which one you choose, the views by day and by night are spectacular and definitely a photo opportunity like no other.

If you’re looking for a truly memorable experience, then a helicopter tour of Manhattan is a must. Liberty Helicopter operates a variety of reasonably priced tours from two convenient locations and you can choose to see the city by day or by night. This ensures that your visit to New York is exceptional and you will have unrivaled photos in anyone’s collection.

However, any sailor will tell you that seeing land from the water is a unique perspective and when you experience the Manhattan skyline by boat you’ll understand why. NY Waterway Tours offers affordable Harbor and Lady Liberty cruises with all day and early evening departures. However you choose to see this city, it will be unlike anything you have experienced on your previous vacations. There’s magic on the horizon, rising above or below you, and each experience is unique to Manhattan.

There are more than 400 art galleries in New York, but more than worth a visit is the gallery hosted by the Leslie/Lohman Gay Art Foundation, a nonprofit public arts organization committed to providing a forum to promote awareness, appreciation and the preservation of GLBT art. . This is one of the premier galleries showcasing the talented artists in our community and the history dates back to 1969 and the time of the Stonewall riots when gay artists were definitely a subculture even in this cosmopolitan city. Its archives and ongoing exhibitions comprise possibly the largest collections of gay art found anywhere in the world today.

A visit to New York would not be complete without enjoying a Broadway theater production. After all, musical theater has been synonymous with Broadway since the 1880s, and what self-respecting gay person doesn’t enjoy a good musical? At almost any time there are a variety of musicals to choose from and many other off-Broadway gay-themed hit plays or shows. A Night at the Theater is part of the legend that makes New York what it is: the cultural capital of the United States.

There is so much more to this “City That Never Sleeps” and it would take many pages to tell the full story; Hopefully this is enough to tease you into thinking about adding this vibrant and bustling city to your vacation schedule. A weekend, a few days, or an entire vacation is sure to be a satisfying experience filled with joyous memories.

In the words of New York journalist and writer Tom Wolfe (The Right Stuff and Bonfire of the Vanities), “In New York, culture seems to be in the air, like part of the weather.” I think that quote must have included gay culture. Once you experience the unique sensation that is New York, you will understand the meaning of these words.

Spend some time, take a trip back in time, but most importantly, enjoy your time in the world famous Big Apple.

As is known, holidays are inseparably linked with romance. Of course, we go in search of extreme sensations from time to time, but more often, having disappeared for a while from the usual city atmosphere and tense way of life, we dream of connecting to a rather comfortable and lyrical atmosphere, especially if we are not doing it alone, but in the company of our beloved.

Recently the Five Star Alliance company, which deals with the reservations of hotels of the highest category, has published the list of “the most luxurious hotels in the world”, which is compiled annually on the basis of the comments of employees, customer memories and hotel popularity ratings. Five Star Alliance, which specializes only in luxury hotels, includes on its daily lists only “la crème de la crème,” which means “the cream of society” in simple English.

Based on objective and subjective opinions, Five Star Alliance named the group of the most glamorous romantic hotels of the year 2007. The hotels were not given any type of place, the company only listed those that are most appropriate for the rest of the couples in love

One of the most amazing hotels that made the list, “la Casa Que Canta” is located on Playa la Ropa in Mexico City. This water-locked place has an amazingly beautiful view, especially if you have booked a waterfront room. Two of the resort’s aqua pools are considered the most elegant pools in the world. For example, one of them sits on the Gulf of Zihuantanejo, and gives the impression that it simply came out of a large body of water. Hotel clients can enjoy golf, tennis, diving, fishing and many other water sports and also the best Spa, excellent food, perfect service and extraordinary landscapes.

If you want to spend a holiday in the middle of oasis of palm and olive trees, it is best to do it at the Moroccan hotel Amajena, located in Marrakech called the “red city”. The design of the hotel is reminiscent of the old Arab clay buildings. Marble fountains, emerald ceilings, a huge pool of water and manicured lawns immerse you in the atmosphere of the 16th century, but the symphony of modern facilities and Moorish magnificence turn vacations into essential happiness.

The rest in Italy still attracts many romantics. According to the Five Star Alliance, La Sirenuse, which was converted from a castle to a luxurious hotel in 1951, is considered the best hotel in southern Italy. There are two bars, a large heated swimming pool, 63 rooms with a Jacuzzi and seascape in it.

This hotel located in the city of Positano, 7 kilometers from the famous Sorrento, presents its guests with a true romance.

Singapore raffles are also listed there. The large hotel with 108 rooms, 18 restaurants and bars, a world-class Spa represents a whole conception of lifestyle. The hotel accommodates its clients only in the most luxurious rooms, eats and eats with excellent products.

There is a museum and a theater inside, but the magnificence of the court and the gardens that spread throughout the hotel area enslave your soul.

Traditionally, Paris has been considered the city of lovers. But in Nice your holidays will be much more romantic. According to the opinion of the Five Star Alliance, the best place to rest in France should be the hotel Le Palais de la Mediterannee. This elegant and luxurious hotel, built in 1929, has its own beach, heated swimming pool, Finnish and Turkish bath, gym, casino and shops. The hotel, built in the old style, is given the status of a historical building. It has recently been completely renovated and has become a more comfortable place. By the way, a ski resort is located an hour away.

The most romantic and luxurious hotels are also considered to be the Italian “Bauer Il Palazzo” (Venice) and “Villa d’Este”, the American “Auberge Du Soleil”, the Irish “Ashford Castle” and the Canadian “The Wickaninnish Inn”.

Kuala Lumpur is the federal capital of Malaysia and has a population of 1.6 million people. It has earned the hosting of major sporting events in its drive to become a globally recognized iconic city. The 1998 Commonwealth Games and of course the Malaysian F1 Grand Prix have managed to put this driving city on the map. The Sepang F1 circuit is located next to the airport, making it extremely popular on the racing calendar. It is an interesting place for a holiday and an excellent base to explore the rest of this fascinating country.

I found the internal transportation system easy to use, inexpensive, clean, and efficient. Traveling from KL International Airport by high-speed train, I arrived at the Central Station and used the local train network to reach my hotel. It was surprisingly easy, the staff were helpful when needed, and the locals were always ready to offer help. In addition to the main train network, there is a quirky painted monorail system which is again very easy to use and presents the visitor with a novel way of getting around.

Like most visitors, I really wanted to see the fabulous Petronas Twin Towers. The largest twin towers in the world, this spectacular building does not disappoint and is best viewed at dusk, allowing people the opportunity to take photos both day and night, when the towers are lit up to a brilliant effect. While it is the most spectacular building, it is by no means the only iconic building. Some of the new Malay buildings are exceptional, Islamic in design, standing out from Western architecture. Good examples are the Menara Telekom building and the Dayabumi complex. The much older traditional-style train station is a white, Moorish-style building that contrasts with the more modern buildings.

Petaling Street in KLs Chinatown is a busy narrow street lined with shops and with market stalls in the middle. A traditional Chinese arch at one end makes this relatively small street easy to find. Found it by accident, just getting on and off the monorail I stumbled across this little gem of a street. Petaling Street has been designated as a locally made retail area.

The cultural diversity within this great city has created a wide variety of restaurants, bars and nightclubs. At its heart is the “Golden Triangle” Jalan P. Ramlee, Jalan Sultan Ismail and Ampang Road mark the boundaries of this area which has many trendy bars, nightclubs and wine lounges. The variation of nightlife available has made this a popular spot for the young jet set. The wide variety of food available is amazing. The population here includes Indians, Malays, and Chinese, so this is obviously reflected in the food available.

To get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Kuala Lumpur boasts the beautiful Lake Gardens. This 230-acre large garden includes a butterfly park, bird park, deer park, and beautifully landscaped gardens. It provides a haven of peace in the center of the city and it’s easy to get lost for a full day here.

Kuala Lumpur has so much to offer and I can’t wait to go back.

The Caribbean has long been seen as one of the best honeymoon vacation destinations in the world today. There are many reasons for this: there are so many things to do, it has a great nightlife, plus the fact that it offers many luxury hotels. These hotels are great for kicking back and relaxing in the sun at the end of a busy day, or alternatively, you can spend your entire vacation at one of these beach resorts/hotels and never run out of things to do.

Fortunately, this is not the case in the Caribbean with so much to see and do outside of the hotel complex. Caribbean cities offer many historical places for visitors to study and enjoy, with excellent food in a variety of different styles for everyone, and interesting people to socialize and have fun with. The Caribbean mentality is always to make guests feel welcome, and you will certainly feel that way during your vacation.

For honeymoons, Barbados is seen as one of the top destinations for romantic getaways. Perhaps the main reason it’s relatively far out of the danger zone is in hurricane season. Barbados tends to get hit by a hurricane only once every 26 years, and even then, hurricanes tend to have lost all their power by then. This makes it a really safe vacation destination to go to if you want to relax and unwind on your honeymoon.

Barbados’ beaches are absolutely spectacular and a sight to behold for visitors. Perhaps one of the best honeymoon hotels on the island is the Sandy Lane Beach Hotel, which has a great reputation. It is a five-star hotel with its own private stretch of beach, allowing vacationers to enjoy the sun and sand in peace and quiet. There are also many other luxury hotel destinations on the island, but this is perhaps the most famous.

One of the best locations in the world, Dubai is home to some of the world’s most exotic hotels. As I look forward to visiting this city, I am faced with a question: Will I be able to find a hotel that fits my budget? If you have a similar question, look no further. Dubai is a terminal that provides the best hotel experiences. The range here varies from cheap 2-star hotels to elegant 7-star hotels; the latter available only in this city.

If you want to experience the luxuries of a 5-star hotel on a thin wallet, visit Dubai for the time of your life. There are a number of 4-star hotels at incredible prices in Dubai. Without acting as a drain on your wallet, these hotels in Dubai have the best of luxury services to offer and can compete with any 5-star hotel in the world. Hotels here provide a 24/7 business center for all your work-related needs, including wireless network access and a meeting room. World-class cuisines on the menu at all of the hotel’s restaurants are not hard to find; particularly when Dubai is your host. The lounge bars and cafeterias attached to the dining room will serve you the best brunch. Options to choose from a variety of refined rooms and resplendent suites will give you the best value for money. The availability of swimming pools, spas and gym will keep your health in check. A few extra services like babysitting make it even more convenient for visitors like us.

If I had to pick a few feathers in my Dubai cap, I need to mention the best of the 4-star hotels in Dubai. The Arabian Courtyard Hotel and Spa is conveniently located and the staff here are the most supportive. It has an excellent Chinese restaurant and also offers delicious breakfast options. Neighbors to this hotel include the famous Dubai Museum and the Creek. A relaxing boat ride is also an inexpensive option. Look across the creek and you will find the souks. The markets are within walking distance, as is the famous Dubai Metro ride.

If you are visiting Dubai on business, the Qamardeen Hotel Dubai is famous for its central location and offers ample business opportunities in the city. The Southern Sun hotel chain is quite similar when it comes to providing various amenities in the form of Wi-Fi access, cafeteria, restaurant, swimming pool, and gyms.

If you want to stay only near the airport, the Dubai Grand Hotel, located on Damascus Street, is just a 4-minute drive from two of the United Arab Emirates’ international airports. With 137 elaborate and well-appointed rooms with all world-class facilities and many excellent restaurants, cafes, markets and other entertainment centers in the immediate vicinity, this hotel costs a little more.

One place that should be mentioned just for its association with the business hub, the Dubai World Trade Center, is the Metropolitan Hotel. This hotel has 10 restaurants and bars serving dishes from all known cuisines: Chinese, Italian, Moroccan and spicy Indian. Other facilities including my personal favorite option of watching the latest movies in a movie theater. Gymnasiums, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna and a large outdoor swimming pool are also present along with the state-of-the-art banquet and conference room.

If you visit Dubai, you don’t need to spend too much on a hotel stay again. All 4 star hotels in Dubai offer elegant and second to none services. And you thought that hotels can’t be cheap.

Roulette Rules and Tips

Truly a game of chance, roulette offers the best odds of any game in a casino, with approximately a 47% chance of winning if you bet on a color. There are a number of roulette rules that you must follow, both for the table game and for online roulette. Tips ahead too.

History

Roulette arises from the passions of a mathematician, Blaise Pascal, in 17th century France. Francois Blanc, another Frenchman, eventually opened the first casinos in Monte Carlo, including some roulette wheels. Because it was one of the first casino games played, roulette is often called the King of Casino Games.

Roulette eventually made its way to US casinos as well. The difference between American and European roulette is the number “0”. The American roulette wheel contains “0” and “00” slots. The European wheel contains only one “0” slot. While this is a small difference, the second “00” space increases the house’s odds, not the player’s, to 5.3%. European roulette offers a house edge of just 2.7%.

roulette rules

Always get your roulette chips from the dealer at the table you are playing at. It will have to associate you with a specific color.

Once the dealer, also known as the croupier, has “closed” the table, usually by wiping a hand across the table, no more bets must be placed, removed, or moved.

Never touch the wheel or the ball.

Roulette is a very simple game. Your only decision is where to place your bet and how much to bet. You have 47 places to bet in the US, 46 in Europe.

You can place more than one bet in more than one place. There are inside bets and outside bets. 0 and 00 are always losing bets unless specifically included (excluded on all outside bets). Line bets are included in inside bets. The inside betting options are:

A number: place the chip on a specific number, 0 and 00 included; odds of winning 37:1; payment 35:1

Line bets:

Two numbers: place the chip on a line between two numbers (on the line between 1 and 2, for example); odds of winning 19:1; pay 17:1

Bet on three numbers/row: place the chip on the outer line that connects a row (outer line 1, 2, 3, for example); odds of winning 11,667:1; pay 11:1

Row 00 – Place the token on the row containing 0 and 00; odds of winning 18:1; pay 17:1

Five numbers: place the token on the line connecting the 0, 00, 1, 2, 3; odds of winning 6.6:1; pay 6:1

outside bets:

Dozens – Place the token in the box marked 1st 12, 2nd 12, or 3rd 12; if the winning number is within your betting area, you win. Odds of winning 2,167:1, payout 2:1

Columns: Place the token at the bottom of the long column of numbers; if the winning number is within your bet column, you win. Odds of winning 2,167:1, payout 2:1

Red or Black: place the token on the square marked Red or Black; if the winning number matches your color, you win. Odds of winning 1,111:1; pay 1:1

Odd or Even – Place the token on the box marked Odd or Even; if the winning number is odd and you bet Odd, you win. Odds of winning 1,111:1; pay 1:1

1-18 or 19-36 – place the chip on the box marked 1-18 or 19-36; if the winning number falls within your betting range, you win. Odds of winning 1,111:1; pay 1:1

online roulette

As with many online gambling games, roulette offers the opportunity to practice the game without the pressure of making serious mistakes. It allows a player to learn the ins and outs of the game and practice new strategies before heading to a casino. There is usually a countdown timer so players know how long they have to wager before a table closes, unlike the casino experience.

The rules of online roulette are very similar to those of traditional casinos. The odds are the same as the payouts. Of course, the risk can be much lower as minimum bets online range from pennies to thousands of dollars.

Tips Roulette Rules

There are almost as many strategies as roulette players. Here are some roulette tips for betting on the game, regardless of whether it is at a table or online:

• Change your bets frequently, at least every 8 spins. The reason this works, in theory, is because the same number is unlikely to come up twice in 8 spins.
• Bet the same number every time you plan to play 36 spins or more. The reason this roulette tip works is because a number is very likely to hit 1:36 times, getting your original bankroll back, so you’ll be playing with house money for the rest of the spins.
• Never bet on green – this strategy doesn’t really work. Although 0 and 00 are “house numbers” (they are the reason the odds are in the house’s favor), the odds of one or both of them being correct are the same as any other number.
• Bet only on red (or black): This strategy works 47% of the time. Same for the odd/even strategy or 1-18/19-36.

Singapore is home to a multitude of ethnicities such as Taoists, Chinese, Indians, and Malays. It is also home to a sizeable expatriate population; in fact, it is one of the largest expat communities in the world. Every year, hundreds of immigrants come to these shores in search of better opportunities and a better future.

Once you travel east of the Singapore River, opposite Chinatown, the urban relief changes to a “Little India.” As its name suggests, it is flourished by an exclusive Tamil community. You can reach the city via the MRT North East line and get off at the Little India or Farrer Park stations near Serangoon Road. The MRT lines are probably the most convenient way to get around. The town is said to have been originally formed by a group of Tamil convicts, today “Little India” and its unique community is catered for by the People’s Action Party (PAP) with a policy to preserve racial settlement.

There are excellent Indian restaurants and restaurants that serve authentic South Indian cuisine. You should try to eat rice and a banana leaf curry while you’re here. The city has a quaint small-town feel and buildings that wouldn’t look out of place in South India. It makes a walk through this place quite exciting. You can buy anything related to Tamil culture like cooking ingredients, utensils, Tamil clothing and more. The streets emanate sandalwood, jasmine, saffron and other spices. The central streets of Little India are lined with stalls selling all kinds of Indian goods: shops selling ethnic jewelry, silk saris, silverware, brass, and even garlands. Visit Little India Cultural Corner at Little India Arcade for a lesson on traditional Tamil artifacts. The place displays traditional items and has signs explaining the use and meaning of the items. Walk into a garland shop and watch as they assemble jasmine flowers into beautiful garlands; These garlands are used in festivals, to adorn shrines, and even garland statuettes. You can even try to adorn your hands with beautiful designs using Mehndi.

The Abdul Gaffoor Mosque is a majestic display showcasing the elaborate styles of Moorish and Renaissance architecture. The temple of 1000 lights is another famous attraction in Little India, but there are many more temples for tourists, such as the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple and Sri Vadapathira Kaliamman Temple, which are magnificent structures in their own right. The Leon San See Temple is a Buddhist temple and is a great way to see some of Singapore’s Chinese architecture. Portraying the influence of Catholicism on the Tamil community, one can find old Methodist churches like Foochow Methodist Church and Kampong Kapor Methodist Church.

An ideal time to visit Little India would be during Deepavali, the festival of lights, when the streets and shops are lit up and Tamils ​​flock to the streets to do their shopping in preparation for the event. The Thaipusam festival, which usually takes place in the early months of the year, is also celebrated in Little India with male devotees hanging shrines to their bodies with the use of hooks and walking in processions throughout the day along with the famous festival. by the devotees walking. through a carpet of burning coal. Is named timithi. At the right time, witnessing such an experience will make the visit to Little India unforgettable.

The Singapore Grand Prix was only resurrected in 2008 after almost 30 years of being dormant. It was previously known as the Formula Libre event during the 1960s. But after Singapore’s independence in 1965, this race held at the Thomson Road circuit was renamed the Singapore Grand Prix. This phenomenon thrived for many years, attracting thousands of fans from different parts of the world.

However, the phenomenon ceased in 1974 due to collaborative issues that bombarded the leadership responsible for the Race. The fatal accidents that occurred in the 1972 and 1973 races aroused the concern of many citizens. These accidents even intensified the complaints received from many people who criticized the inconvenience caused by the closure of main roads, the diversion of transport and the heavy traffic jams during the race.

However, in 2007, the five-year contract signed by Singapore GP Pte Ltd, the Singapore Tourism Board and Bernie Ecclestone marked the return of the Singapore Grand Prix to the spotlight. The race was co-funded by the Government of Singapore, with an investment of S$90 million out of the total cost of S$150 million. The Singapore Grand Prix, Formula One’s first night race, is currently taking place in the Marina Bay area, Singapore. F1 racing cars take to the circuit route in central Singapore.

When the return of the Singapore Grand Prix was first announced in early 2007, thousands of fans and tourists expressed their excitement and enthusiasm for the event. As early as November 2007, hotel packages and hospitality suites were open for booking and immediately got full bookings. Patrick Fiat, general manager of Royal Plaza on Scotts, said the resurrection of the Race would provide a big boost for tourism in Singapore. Fiat also added that this Race was one of the best things that could happen to the country.

It would provide a new brand for Singapore and increase its position in the global market. Fiat was right in saying this because a total of around 110,000 tickets were released for the first Singapore Formula One race. With the flood of tourists, airlines and hotels were the most likely beneficiaries of this phenomenon. Ms. Ng of Pan Pacific Hotel said that this race is extremely encouraging, not only for the hotel, but also for the prospects of the hotel industry in general.

Hotels in the Marina Bay area are said to have the greatest advantage because they provide a very good view of the race from their rooms. Tourists rush to book their accommodation even a year in advance to guarantee their stay and get a good room that provides a perfect view of the race. Other hotels along the route that also provide impressive views of the races are the Ritz-Carlton Millenia, Fullerton, and Swissotel the Stamford. But even if tourists couldn’t get a room at these featured hotels or didn’t buy a ticket to the race, they can still try their luck and catch a glimpse of the race at Suntec City, the Esplanade or Padang theatres.
