ComeSingapore.com has officially launched the Mandarin version of its website (http://cn.comesingapore.com), allowing users to access the multi-functional website in one of Singapore's mother tongues. With a convenient button at the top right corner of each page, users may now choose to read in simplified or traditional Chinese at any time.
According to the Singapore Tourism Board, Singapore hosted over 1.2 million visitors from the People’s Republic of China in 2010 alone, the second-largest group of international tourists and among the top 5 highest-spending group. Singapore is also the second most popular destination in the world for outbound Chinese.
“Taiwan, Hong Kong & Macau use traditional Chinese, and the mainland Chinese use simplified Chinese,” said Winnie Tan, ComeSingapore’s managing director. “We now have both options to cater to the whole Chinese-speaking market.”
Currently, the ComeSingapore team is working on adding other regional languages, ranging from Bahasa Indonesia to Japanese. They understand the importance of a multilingual site, and providing comfortable browsing for its international users remains a priority.
ComeSingapore.com aims at catering to specific demographics in ways other than translation. The information on-site is targeted at tourists and expatriates, and provides candid, refreshing information about anything and everything to do with Singapore.
With integrated social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, ComeSingapore.com is a truly comprehensive guide to Singapore that offers each user a personalised experience. Equipped with a booking engine, events guide, photo gallery, business directory, maps and more, ComeSingapore.com is a seamless, full trip aide with information for every step of the journey.
