The Marina Bay Sands has three 55-story towers with approximately 2,600 rooms and suites. Atop the hotel is the Sands SkyPark, a park that is set on top of the three towers. The park has vegetation, an observation deck, several restaurants, and a swimming pool that seems to flow over the building. The resort's location right next to the city center allows it to serve as an entertainment site for the local population and also a destination for business travelers and MICE (Meetings, Incentive, Convention, Exhibition) events. A year after Marina Bay Sands opened, tourism to Singapore shot up 20% and the economy expanded by 15%.
