1. Political Impacts
The common tourism benefit that will be received during this kind of event will be the job opportunities that will be provided to Singaporeans. They will need extra manpower at places like The Esplanade as most programs are held there, people like ushers, customer service and even securities is needed.

Like I mentioned in the purpose, it will help create more awareness to people around the world so that World-Known Artist will choose to perform here in Singapore and thus attracting more tourist over for visit.

2. Tourism and Economic Impacts
Festival like this will bring in more tourism receipts as tourist may purchase tickets to watch the performance or some guest will extend their stay here when they came during the period near the festival.

Other than tourism receipts, it will also bring more business opportunities into Singapore. Example, some companies may find Singapore a place where they are able to develop the arts industries here.

3. Social and Cultural Impacts
Other than being more expose to modern arts during the Singapore Arts Festival, traditional arts can also been seen. Example, The Esplanade has some opera show that will attract the older generation to participate in this kind of event. Without event like this, Opera maybe neglected as they are not seen around. This event will help to pass down these traditional arts to the younger generation or even interest them to learn more about it.

As Singapore is a multi-racial country, this is a period where people will be exposed to any arts and culture. This will help create awareness of the different racial culture like the dances, the art, etc. This is also a time where student from the arts school can make use of their idea and talent as they may perform free show in their school to help inspire other people on the arts.

In some case, communities may also be involved. This will be a time where the people of different culture will come together as they have the common goals and interest, and that is Arts.

4. Physical and Environmental Impacts
During the Arts Festival period, places like Orchard Road, The Esplanade, etc, will be filled with arts decoration like arts sculptures, and even dustbins or recycle bins painted in bright colorful colors can be found on the street to help enhance the festival and bring out the arts atmosphere.

As Singapore is a famous garden city, during this kind of major event the government will hire more cleaners to clean the streets every short interval to keep the country clean. By doing so, it will not only benefit the Singaporeans, it will also leave a more positive image for tourist and artist who came over for holiday enjoyment and performances.
