Description
Summary:In 2014, Singapore’s visitorship dropped for the very first time in 6 years by 3.1% in tourist volume (Neo, 2015).

Amid the backdrop of declining tourism tickets and satisfaction, one possible way to ensure tourist attractions remain sustainable would be to look to the local communities for support in terms of spending and boosting satisfaction. Taking Universal Studios Singapore as a case, an examination of how local Singaporeans partake as repeat visitors to the attraction aims to unravel ways in which it could garner local support for the attraction and possibly tide through periods of lull in the tourism calendar.
