7.1 %, with the value of tourism receipts jumping by 3.1 % over the same period .
Among the city ’ s most popular attractions are its Gardens by the Bay , a 250-acre sprawl divided between three stunning waterfront gardens . Besides the verdant beauty of the space that represents a tranquillity less often found in one of the world ’ s most bustling metropolises , the Gardens , Cloud Forest , and Supertree Grove are also marvels of modern architecture . The iconic Grove , along with the OCBC Skyway connecting two of its trees , offers tourists the ideal platform from which to survey the gorgeous flora and surrounding buildings . The 165m tall Singapore Flyer is another popular tourist destination and a key component of the city ’ s skyline . Offering incredible panoramic views of the vibrant cityscape , the Flyer is arguably the best way to take in the multifarious and unique sights of the city at large . For those seeking more commercial diversions , Orchard Road is an excellent choice . The area houses 800,000 square metres of shops and restaurants , with a pristine and tree-lined street binding it all together .
