What is the best time to visit Singapore if shopping is top in your travel agenda? Great Singapore Sales time is the best of course. Great Singapore Sales will be held between 31 May and 28 July 2013. Often abbreviated simply as GSS, Great Singapore Sales, is an annual event centered around the national sport of Singapore - shopping. During this time, participating outlets offer some of the best sales deals, specials and super saver deals in Singapore. The event is in its 20th year in 2013 and as before some of Singapore's best-known retail names will offer shoppers a great way to stock up on their favorite brands while seeing some of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods.
Main focus of GSS will of course be on Singapore's central shopping district, Orchard Road, which is also one of the most famous shopping destination in Asia. With huge shopping malls such as the massive ION Orchard mall and the Mandarin Gallery, countless stores below and above the ground (and often interconnected by underground air-conditioned tunnels) biggest shopper crowd will be in Orchard Road.
But shopping in Singapore is not restricted to Orchard Road. Relatively new shopping enclaves like The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands and Vivo City offers modern, branded and posh products while historical shopping streets like Chinatown, Kampong Glam, Holland Village and Little India offers unique objects, novelties and handcrafted items that reflect the unique personality of the neighborhood they’re sold in. Many of these neighborhoods also offer eclectic restaurants, live music and funky coffee shops to help shoppers recharge during their long day.
Shoppers can also check out the inaugural Singapore International Jewelry Expo 2013 at the Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Center from 4 to 7 July, which will showcase displays from leading designers, brands and gemstone suppliers from around the world across 8,000 square meters of floor space.
The best part of the festival is that in order to accommodate the crowds of deal seekers, many of the stores and malls will be staying open late to maximize the shopping opportunities. No more rushing to get everything done before the stores close!
To top it all off, the grand prize of the event is the MasterCard Biggest Spender Reward, in which the biggest spender of the festival can win S$20,000. Details are available on the GSS website, but if that’s not an incentive to stock up on new supplies, nothing is!
During your stay in Singapore, you will probably need a hotel and Agoda.com, Asia’s leading hotel booking site, has a variety of Singapore hotel deals in the lead-up to the Great Singapore Sale.
