MADE IN SINGAPORE
WITH Boon
Made in Singapore is a tour that narrates the history of Singapore's economic development and showcases 3 different business and sectors that featured strongly in this development.
ITINERARY
The development of Singapore to a first world nation in record time has been hailed the world over as an economic miracle. Singapore’s nominal GDP grew from 500 USD in 1965 to 56000 USD in 2015, on par with Germany and the United States. Yet this remarkable story is hardly ever told.
How did this small country with limited natural resources manage to pull this off? What were the major industries that helped shaped the economy of Singapore then and now? What are the major shifts and pivots we made? For example, how and why did port and shipping activities morph over the past years?
Back in the 80s, we were obsessed with the word hub. And being a hub of many industries - banking, oil refinery, aviation, and many others. So afraid of being left out that we made it an art form to be globally relevant.
Join us as we bring this story to life and open your eyes to what's made in Singapore.
Made in Singapore is available for group bookings from September onwards. Till further notice, this tour is open to group bookings only. Please contact us at bookings@tribe-tours.com or call us at +6564631031.

Boon
In 2020 when Tribe was creating different new genres and tour formats, Mr. Versatile gamely undertook all the different content, formats, styles and skills to avail himself for the new tours. For more, https://mothership.sg/2021/03/klook-tours-singapore/. Post 2020, Boon is an expert livestream guide, has decent skills in phone photography, gamemaster and storytelling skills, and is a market and hawker centre expert especially in Chinatown. At the onset, Boon exudes calm but also a rather serious demeanour. But if you know Boon the way we do, he is full of jokes and one has to be sharp to pick up his witty banter.
