Show’s over, folks.
Hotel guests taking a dip at the luxurious Marina Bay Sands (MBS) integrated resort in Singapore will now be spared having visitors lingering and ogling at their half-naked bodies.
The resort will now provide optional guided tours for non-hotel guests that include a brief stop at the pool atop its 57th storey SkyPark, the highest outdoor pool in the world.
The SkyPark, which offers stunning views of the city skyline, attracts up to 2,750 visitors daily.
But from Monday, there will be three such tours daily, with 50 people on each 15-minute tour.
The entry fee is $20 for an adult. Those who do not sign up for the free tours will not get to see the 150m swimming pool.
Visitors can sign up for the tours - held at 11am, 2pm and 8pm daily - at the ticket counter.
Up till now, non-hotel guests who pay to go up to the SkyPark have been allowed to linger at a portion of the pool on weekdays. But hotel guests had complained about the crowds and a lack of privacy.
