| Discussion of environmental
protection and economic development in world fora seems to focus on trade-offs
between the two. There is a feeling that one can only be achieved at the
expense of the other.
Singapore has transited
from 'developing' status to the threshold of the developed world, all
within a matter of some 39 years. And Singaporeans have not had to sacrifice
their quality of life, nor have they unduly damaged their natural environment
in the process of industrialisation. Singapore has demonstrated that a small country can also achieve economic prosperity. And you do not have to sacrifice the natural environment in order to achieve it. You can have both. UPBOUND organises the Learning Partnership programme to share the Singapore Experience with overseas visitors who see Singapore as a learning model. This study tour programme encompasses national policies and strategies in: It includes classroom briefings and site visits. The programme content and duration are customised to meet the specific interests of individual organisations, and it can be combined with a leisure, business or incentive trip to Singapore.

Singaporeans breathe clean air and drink clean water. They live decent,
healthy and rewarding lives in comfortable homes of their own. They
enjoy one of the highest standards of living and per capita incomes
in Asia. And all this amid the verdant beauty of a garden city, with
precious land still set aside for parks and nature reserve.
