Located at one of the crossroads of the world,
Singapore's strategic position has helped it grow into a major
centre for trade, communications and tourism. Its geographical
location is 136.8 km north of the equator, between latitudes 103
degrees 38' E and 104 degrees 06' E.
It is linked to Malaysia by two causeway bridges and the key islands
of the Riau Archipelago of Indonesia are just a quick ferry trip
away. Thailand and the Philippines are a short plane journey away
and Singapore, with an airport (Changi Airport) served by more than
69 airlines, is very much the gateway to South-East Asia. Further
tourist information on Singapore can be found on the website:
