Economic Impact

The Singapore Zoo has boosted the economy in Singapore and it is ranked one of the top attractions in Singapore on the Tripadvisor, so this would draw foreigners to the attraction. For tourists who visited and stayed in the Zoo from the opening till the closing time would tend to be hungry and thirsty so the Food and Beverage outlets would help to boost the revenue of the Zoo and generate more tourism receipts. Also, the Singapore Zoo’s website says that every year there would be 1.6million visitors visiting the Zoo. The opening of the Zoo has created jobs for locals in Singapore too. Thus, there would be income for the government through sales taxes paid in the F&B outlets, entrance fees and taxes paid be the employees.

Environmental Impact

The Singapore Zoo helps the visitors to be educated and be aware of the wildlife conservation and preservation of biodiversity. By visiting the Zoo, the visitors would be able to learn, appreciate and respect the animals which we have shared our planet with. Also, aware that there are animals out there that need to be preserved as year after year there are endangered animals which are going to be extinct. Visitors could also help raise awareness and help to save the animals from extinction. This would have a positive impact towards Singapore and raise the profile of our country showing others from different countries that we are responsible citizens taking care of our environment and the animals.

Political Impact

The Singapore Zoo is a prominent landmark in Singapore famous for its parks. This would help raise the profile of Singapore and also a must visit tourism destination for the tourists. The River Safari and Night Safari are also very successful in promoting themselves. Thus, this would help raise the image of Singapore and show to the world that Singapore is not only known as a hustling and bustling city but also known for its greenery, parks and environment.

The Singapore Zoo has got to be one of the must go places when you visit Singapore! I can’t wait for your arrival and am excited to bring you to visit the Singapore Zoo.
