Singapore is giving workers in the tourism sector a tune-up before tens of thousands of auto racing fans descend on the city-state for the world's first Formula One Grand Prix night race.

Up to 2,000 supervisors who work in shops, bars, restaurants and tourist attractions will receive the four-hour training, the Singapore Tourism Board said in a statement Friday.

The training is "specially designed to refresh participants on the finer points of providing good customer service as well as provide essential information on the race" and related events, it said.

Singapore is to host a Grand Prix street circuit race for the first time on September 28. It will also be the sport's first race held at night.

The government is hoping the event will boost its tourism coffers by 100 million dollars (70.6 million US) a year.


They really know how to tick the boxes to satisfy the money men. Maybe Donnington will give that roadside cafe off the MI before the roundabout to East Midlands airport a free refurb as well <roflmao>

Better that than Silverstone....

"Yes, we'll refurbish that roadside cafe - look, here are the plans!" (Present set of complicated and detailed plans)

- 3 YEARS LATER -

"The roadside cafe? Yes, we're just about to start work on it - here are the plans!" (Present completely different set of plans to those shown three years ago)

- 3 YEARS LATER -

"After great deliberation, we have finally drawn up plans for the redevelopment of the roadside cafe." (Present bit of paper with vaguely cafe-looking building drawn on by Damon Hill, in crayon)

- 103 YEARS LATER -

"Finally we are proud to unveil the new and improved roadside .... oh, sod it, nobody's listening."
