Stretching from the main shopping belts of Orchard Road and Marina Bay to the suburban malls, the sale involves an impressive number of retail outlets. Exclusive tourist-only specials are on offer in addition to the normal promotions – in fact, tourists are presented with a “Tourist Privilege Card” affording them more discounts on selected retail and lifestyle purchases. Other visitor benefits include VAT refunds and extra tax rebates with brands such as high fashion chain Club 21 (who represent Armani, Dolce & Gabbana and Mulberry).
Among all the funs and excitements, The Great Singapore Shopping Challenge will be one of the highlight events. This big attraction will boast a cash prize of US $10,000 for the best bargain hunter, tourists and locals will battle it out in an intense shopping spree that lasts 3 hours. With US $1,000 in their pocket, teams of two are charged with the task of finding the best items available at the least amount of money. On top of that, there will also be attractive dining offers islandwide during the season to keep you and your companions thoroughly contented even when you’re not shopping. Also if you have sometimes, don't forget to a bus ride around the Singapore Island. It will be another good experiences.
