It is also the city with the busiest port, with one shipment arriving or departing every three minutes. WHY GO THERE: Just “three movies and two meals away,” Singapore offers an amicable melange of cultures, encompassing a mix of tradition and modernity. Its constantly changing skyline is evidence of the construction projects that continue to give planners more opportunities for events with unique experiences.
