Kelong as a tourist destination

Last week, Singapore Tourism Board made a public appeal for new ideas to boost tourist arrival & spending.

As a kelong owner, I think the time has finally come. A new lease of life for the vanishing kelong.

I have on, at least 3 ocassions spoken to STB officers about kelong as a tourist attraction..somehow I did not see any enthusiasm from them.

Perhaps, they were busy with the 'bigger' picture like IR and F1.

Any way, I think kelong(fishfarm included) certainly has a role to play in attracting tourist, both local and overseas.

Below are some pictures from real events at another friend's kelong. As to what & how to do, we are only limited by our own imagination..

Lights on when the sun is down..










Need more lights?











What do you eat when you're at sea? Sea food galore of course!












Done with dinner, just chill out under the night sky, let the sea breeze brush your hair.
