Consumers who switch energy supplier may find the money they save could fund a trip to Singapore.
And according to Eunice Yeo, area director of northern and western Europe at the Singapore Tourism Board in London, the country is an ideal destination for those looking to sample Eastern culture.
The industry figure noted: "Katong and Joo Chiat, for example, feature a charming collection of Peranakan experiences, from traditional shophouses with Peranakan architecture, to various food and retail options."
She recommended visits to Guan antiques and Katong Antique House for their Peranakan antiques, furniture and household items, as well as Rumah Bebe, which is renowned for its demonstrations of Peranakan beading.
The new National Arts Gallery is also a "must-see", Ms Yeo added.
According to the Singapore Tourism Board, more than a million people arrived in the country in July - which was the eighth consecutive month record numbers have entered the nation for a holiday.
