SINGAPORE — With tickets selling fast and party suites costing up to US$70,000 (S$100,000) a night, Singapore is putting the pedal to the metal when it hosts Asia's first Formula One race this weekend since the pandemic.

Tens of thousands of fans are expected to converge for the Singapore Grand Prix from Friday to Sunday as the night race roars back after a two-year absence because of Covid-19.

Away from the track, the city-state will be letting its hair down with concerts by Westlife, Black Eyed Peas and Suede, plus American rapper Fatman Scoop and Dutch DJ Oliver Heldens. "It signals to the world that Singapore is back in business and that our ability to stage world-class, high-quality events remains undimmed," Ms Ong Ling Lee, an executive director at Singapore Tourism Board , told AFP.

Seeing Singapore emphatically open up has"put pressure" on other Asian economies such as Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong to also relax travel curbs, said Mr Song. The nearby Marina Bay Sands casino and hotel complex is offering a"Mandala Weekender", where guests can enjoy a variety of musical entertainment and parties.
