Tourism is an important industry in Singapore. In 1995, Singapore received 7.14 million visitors. The total tourism receipts for 1995 amounted to S$11.6 billion. One of the areas popular with the tourists is Boat Quay and its surrounding vicinity at Circular Road. The restored shophouses at Boat Quay against a background of skyscrapers in the city's financial district, transforms the riverfront into an area where visitors can dine outdoors at the waterside and restaurants.
Singapore, as a tourist centre, encourages the establishment of well-runned and hygenic food and beverage outlets. To ensure that such outlets meet the highest safety and hygiene standards, the government has numerous regulations and rules covering areas as diverse as fire safety and health standards to Internet regulation and entertainment licensing.
