Melco-Crown Entertainment Among Other Experts to Present at the 2nd Annual Integrated Resorts in Singapore

Singapore, Singapore, March 24, 2011 --(PR.com)-- marcus evans will present the 2nd Annual Integrated Resorts conference taking place on the 25th – 26th of July 2011 in Singapore. The conference will be a platform that will encapsulate the cutting edge issues in the design & innovative technologies, finance & development, as well as commercialisation elements necessary to the development of successful Integrated Resorts.

The two day agenda includes a choice of three streams over two days. The streams are Design & Innovative Technologies I & II, Finance & Development I & II and Commercialisation I & II.

With an estimated 13% growth in international tourist arrivals to Asia totaling 204 million tourists for 2010, Governments are keen to develop their own tourism offerings and are racing to create new compelling destinations which can attract and capture a share of the growing tourism market.

The successful openings of the two new Integrated Resorts in Singapore have reinforced the Integrated Resort model as a way to meet Governments' tourism promotion agendas, create jobs, develop tourism infrastructure and spur economic growth.

Given the multi-billion dollar investment and close cooperation required to achieve a vision of this scale, careful thought and thorough planning must be wedded to effective action in order to ensure these mini "Cities of Entertainment" are successful.
