Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, the owner Genting Group and Resorts World Sentosa.
Aquarium opened to the public on 22 November last year was built in the Resort
World Sentosa (RWS), the integrated tourism area in Sentosa Island, Singapore.

underwater scenery packed in glass panels. SEA Aquarium is one of the
attractions that are part of the water rides c (MLP) in RWS.
MLP also offer other objects, the Adventure Cove Waterpark
or water playground with various types of swimming pools and water slides.
"That way, visitors can choose the type of water by wet or dry," said
Tan Hee Teck, Chief Executive Officer and President of the RWS Genting
Singapore PLC Venue.
About 200 journalists from China, Hong Kong, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Thailand, Russia, and Singapore, which invited RWS management during
the inauguration of the tourist area, late last year, had the opportunity to
see the splendor of SEA Aquarium.
Each group of journalists from each country like a group of
tourists accompanied by two guides assigned to explain a wide range of marine
life in the aquarium. There are 20 touch screen panel contains information
about marine animals and their habitats.
By paying 29 Singapore dollars (equivalent to USD 225 000),
visitors can enjoy the beauty of the sea in the company of a guide. So, what
makes this aquarium is different?
At the outset, enters SEA Aquarium is like a visit to Sea
World in the tourist area of Ancol, Jakarta. However, how to package and
technologies offered by these places is much more classy.
The main attraction is the Aquarium SEA giant glass panels
with a length of 36 meters and height of 8.3 meters. In the glass thickness of
70 centimeters, there are manta rays that flicker charming, beauty napoleon
fish, passing the giant grouper, and hundreds of small fish chasing.
"It's so peaceful to see the underwater sights like
this," said Nath (33), tourists from Thailand, who is on holiday in
Singapore with his wife and son.

such as hammerhead sharks, black fin reef sharks and nurse sharks.
On the other there are also glass panels containing small
endemic marine life such as crab’s Japanese living in cool temperate waters,
moray eels, and a wide range of coral reefs.
Hotels in aquarium
About 100,000 of the 800 species of marine life in the
aquarium's water comes from ten zones covering 49 different habitats, ranging
from open sea in Asia, the Arabian Gulf, to the freshwater lake in eastern
Africa.
"Most are from Southeast Asian countries such as
Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines," said Joanna, one of
the guides SEA Aquarium.
Biodiversity is the main attraction for visitors discover
the beauty of the underwater world without having been to the area of origin
biota.
If not satisfied simply enjoy the beauty of the surrounding
underwater aquarium, visitors can also stay in a deluxe room which directly
overlooks the largest glass dome at the aquarium. This is called creative work
by Tan Hee Teck.
There is a hotel with 11 suites with views of the open ocean
is priced at 2400 Singapore dollars each night. Facilities that surpass
five-star hotel are intended for the millionaire who had the pleasure of going
to the underwater world.
In addition to hotel rooms, there is also a place to eat
called The Ocean Restaurant aquarium surrounded by glass panels from the wall
up to the roof. This area is still in the SEA Aquarium.
In addition to rake in tourist groups and families, the SEA
Aquarium also offers educational packages to attract students. They work
together with the school who want to visit the aquarium through a variety of
learning programs for students to understand the underwater world and its
conservation efforts.
Biswajit Guha, Director of Education, Conservation and
Research MLP, explains most of the marine life in the Aquarium SEA imported
directly from the open ocean, partly obtained from the supplier.
To decide what kind of species are combined in a single pane
of glass or not, the MLP has a research facility Marine Aquaculture and
Research Center (MARC). In addition to research, the facility is also used for
fish farming.
The entire biota quarantined advance in a separate pool in
MARC before being placed in the aquarium. It is intended that the species be
able to adapt to the new environment.
Biswajit added, handling key biota Aquarium SEA is a regular
feeding and changing water regularly so as not to stress the animal. Aquarium
SEA has a team which monitors the condition of each biota intensively.
Investment
In addition to SEA Aquarium and Adventure Cove Waterpark,
RWS also has a Universal Studios Singapore, the six-star hotel with a capacity
of 1500 rooms, 60 restaurants, a casino, and a meeting room that can
accommodate 12,000 guests. The resort area of 49 acres on Sentosa Island is
worth the investment of 7 billion Singapore dollars.
With such a variety of attractions, Tan Sri Lim targets to
bring in 17 million tourists to the RWS in 2013. RWS will "force"
tourists extend their stay by leveraging Singapore's position as a transit
country.
"We are confident that the target can be realized.
Moreover, with the increasing number of flights that stop over to Singapore,
"said Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay.
To achieve these targets, Robin Goh, Assistant Director of
Communications RWS, admitted his side work with local tourism agencies in
Indonesia, Malaysia, and China became the largest contributor to the presence
of tourists in the country covering an area of 710 square kilometers.
Inviting the media from a number of countries, recognized Goh, also became
effective promotional event.
At the opening of RWS premiere on December 7, 2012,
presented a variety of attractions, such as fireworks, renowned soprano Sarah
Brightman, and orchestra performances. RWS also attended the opening party of
the Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Hsien Loong.
RWS is a big dream of Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay to realize a
world-class integrated tourism area in Singapore that can be seeded in Asia.
Tan Sri Lim, a businessman from Malaysia, is also the owner of Genting Highland
Resorts, "neighbor country".
RWS management a challenge for Indonesia. Satisfaction
visitors looked at thousands of marine life at SEA Aquarium certainly not
comparable when looking directly manta rays and green turtles Derawan Islands,
East Kalimantan, or the coral reefs in Raja Ampat, Papua.
If Tan Sri Lim dared to set a target of 17 million tourists
in 2013, mostly foreign tourists, to visit the artificial tourism, what about
Indonesia, which has a variety of natural attractions. Of course, this depends
on the seriousness of the government.
