3. World of tourismWorld of tourism
• We were given a variety of topics to choose
for IPW (Interdisciplinary Project Work). After
much consideration, we decided to choose
the topic ‘Tourism’ because tourism is the
main source of income for Singapore.

4. Hypothesis
• The hypothesis for our group’s project is
“Singapore need a new tourist attraction
rather than improve its current tourist
attractions”.
• Thus to ensure and reconfirm our hypothesis,
we decided to conduct a series of survey on
Singaporeans, Permanent Residents and
tourists.

5. Survey
• We went around interviewing people from all
walks of life such as Singaporeans, Tourists
and permanent residents (20 people each)
separately at the Changi Airport, school and
shopping malls.
• From the separate results, we combined them
together and present them in the form of pie
chart.

6. Conducting Survey at the Changi
airport
• This is the first time we interview strangers. We
did not have much experience.
• Thus, to show our sincerity, we decided to
prepare small gifts which are nicely and
attractively wrapped.
• At first, we all did not know how to approach the
tourist. But, slowly, we got the hand of it. Thus,
the process was fasten up.

7. • We met people from all walks of life. There
were people who are friendly and there were
also people who are less friendly. We got
rejected but we also did get to interview
people.
• In total, we went to the airport twice.

10. Survey Findings
1.How old are you?

11. 2.How many tourists attractions in Singapore have you visited?

12. 3. How do you find these tourists attraction?

13. 4. Do you think Singapore has got enough tourists attractions?

14. 5. Are you satisfied with the facilities in Singapore?

15. 6. If Singapore were to build another attraction, what would you prefer?

16. Conclusion for survey
• From the result gotten, most of the people find
that Singapore’s tourist attractions are fun and
generally, people are satisfied with the facilities
in Singapore.
• Majority of the people thinks that there is
sufficient amount of tourist attraction. From
question 6, 55% of the people we interviewed
preferred to have relaxation as a new attraction.
• Therefore, we decide to build a garden as what
most of the people had requested.

17. Preparation for Gardenractive
• We decided that if we want to build a garden
that will attract more tourist, we will have to
make it stand out among the other gardens
in Singapore such as the botanical garden
and the Garden by the bay. So we wanted to
plan a little ‘adventure’ in the garden and try
to make the design as special as possible.

18. • Firstly, we gave our garden a name,
Gardenractive. Unlike other gardens, our
gardens will be interactive and fun. From the
first step the costumer made; they will be able
to experience a brand new feeling. We had
meticulously prepared a very fun and
interactive journey which bring them closer to
the Mother Nature.

19. • We also want to emphasize on the need of
preserving the environment because
governments has been clearing lands to build
more housing estates. We will be making our
artifact using a software. It will present to you
both the internal and external view of the
garden.

20. • The vehicles that the customers can travel on
in the garden would be drawn manually on an
A4 size paper. Other then these, we will
create a website so as to reach to people on
the other side of the world through the net.

21. Finally, we overcame all the problems. We are
done planning and came up with our product!

22. Gardenractive
• We have planned a little adventurous journey for
the customers. This journey will take them around
the ‘world’ to give them a view on the variety of
plants, trees and flowers located in different part of
the world.
• There are a variety of animal shaped vehicles for the
customers to travel in. The screen on the front
portion of the vehicles will be saying a brief
explanation of the environment along the journey
and also describe the different type of plants around
them.

23. • If the customer is interested in the specific
type of plant, they can choose to hop off the
vehicles and take a closer look at the plant.
They can ask for a guide or walk around
themselves as there will be signs and boards
to tell them direct them.
• The customers would not be leaving the
garden without anything. They can visit the
stuff stationed to make their own souvenirs,
such as using the leaves of some plant to
make a basket and using the banana tree’s
leaf to make ketupat

24. • The garden have a luxurious restaurant(forest
retreat restaurant and grille) where the
customers can go in and relax or have some
food.
• The restaurant is made up of recycled
materials like used eater bottles.

25. A part to save the Earth
• We will make everything using recycled materials
to give the people a clearer image that recycled
product can be as good as new products and also
to spread the importance of recycling and
conserving the resources as we will run out of
natural resources if we continue to waste them.

26. • The vehicles will be using solar power to
conserve natural resources.
• For customers who are visiting for the second
or third time, they can choose to ride on a
bicycle to travel around the garden freely.
They can exercise as well as to breathe in
fresh air.

27. To do make this adventure possible, we have
to make some preparations. We had designed
the garden using software which will show
you the complete view of the garden.

29. A glance at the vehicle
• We designed the vehicles that will be taking the
customers around the garden using the shape of
different animals (elephant, tigers and kangaroo)
which represent different countries. There will be a
total of 11 countries included (United States; China;
Korea; Japan: Canada; India; Russia; England; Brazil;
Australia and Africa)

Through this project, I learnt that as a team,
we have to be very united to complete the
assignments given and also to overcome all
sorts of problems that we may face. As long as
we are united, we can make anything
possible. And through this project, I get to
work with the people I don’t usually work with
and learn from them. Overall, although we
had many difficulties, we still managed to
overcome it as a team. It was a enjoyable
experience.

33. Qi Ying
 As the group leader, I have not only placed much stress on
myself but also high expectations on the entire group, which
consists of Mei Yi, Ming Ze, Justin, Wei Xiang and myself. I
truly appreciate the hard work they have put into our project
especially nearing the submission of our project work. I must
say that IPW has been an insightful and memorable
experience for me. I have learned in many ways what it
means to be a group and not an individual, knowing that not
everyone is like me. I must also express my thanks to my
mentor, Ms Zurianah, who has render lots of helps to me.
Thank you!

34. Ming Ze
IPW has taught me many research and
collaboration skills which I can apply for future
use. These skills include triangulating the
various information gathered and organising
information. Other than that, critical thinking
skills is also learnt throughout the project.
Critical thinking is not just about thinking, but
with logic and depth with various perspectives
of ideas.

35. Justin
I have learnt many useful skills from IPW
which I can utilize in later parts of my life.
Such as the proper ways to interview a
person, with the factors affecting a good
interview. My level of confidence has also
increased after interviewing people at the
Changi airport. Overall, I felt that IPW is
extremely engaging and fun to participate in!

36. Wei Xiang
 Throughout the course of the entire project,
many of us had differing views. Many of times,
the group had to accommodate to one of our
views and perception even though I know that at
several instances they actually do not agree to it.
But, it is a group work after all. I learnt that
everybody is unique and special in their own
ways. I truly appreciate the concepts of having
group works. I must also thank our mentor who
help us.

37. Thank you for your time! 
