The Singapore Oceanarium will enhance the Republic's tourism landscape while contributing to its environmental goals, said Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu.

The revamped oceanarium, which is part of the Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) integrated resort, contributes to Singapore's position as a leading tourist destination, Ms Fu said during its launch on July 23 following extensive renovations.

"As a key milestone of RWS' expansion, the oceanarium will strengthen our appeal to both local and international visitors with refreshed and immersive experiences."

"At the same time, its focus on marine education, research and conservation supports Singapore's broader sustainability objectives," added Ms Fu, who is also Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations.

Formerly known as the S.E.A Aquarium, the attraction was the world's largest oceanarium and public aquarium when it first opened in 2012.
