Article Abstract:

In the trendy Boat Quay restaurant strip in Singapore, restaurant owners are venturing into various strategies to lure customers amid declining sales brought by the current economic downturn in Asia. Bourbon Street started to offer promotions, such as a boat ride for customer spending no less than S$50, or $29.22. Another restaurant in the area, Hot Stones, recently launched a new dish that is priced slightly lower than the average entree price of S$17. Boat Quay is seeing less tourists recently, and several expatriate regulars in the area are leaving the country, causing the restaurant strip to see declining sales.
