About Jewel Changi
Jewel Changi, which holds a ‘must-see attraction’ title in Singapore was born of the need to expand the Changi Airport- to put Singapore on the world map as a ‘must stopover’ destination and as a leading air hub. The word ‘Jewel’, taken after the gem, was adapted to make Changi Airport a ‘gem of a destination.’ This resulted in an engineering marvel offering travellers an integration of nature with play attractions that promise endless fun, world-class shopping experience, relaxation, and rejuvenation, and a wealth of delectable cuisines.
