India is an important market for Singapore Tourism and they have already started pitching in major Indian cities like Kolkata, Hyderabad, Pune, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Kochi, besides Tier One cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai and Bangalore.

Recently, Alia Bhatt was seen promoting Singapore Tourism. The opening scenes of ‘Dear Zindagi’ (Alia Bhatt & SRK) were filmed in Singapore.
