Some of the eye-catching items at the fair included a robot that dances to "Gangnam style" and a "Tablet-Man" that collects wishes.

Also seen at the fair was a mobile phone that can be used as a hammer and submerged in water.

Four mega IT fairs have been held this year.

In total, the fairs are estimated to have generated visitorship of 3.25 million people and spending of S$247 million.

For the first time, SITEX hosted a tournament featuring 64 of the world's best gamers.

The gamers competed in the popular online games League of Legends and StarCraft II.

"This is something (that is the) first in Southeast Asia, and we are happy to host it and we want to promote this for future events as well," said Henry Chua, projects manager at Singex Exhibition Ventures. "Definitely, gaming is a growing trend right now."

More competition for tour operators at NATAS Fair

SINGAPORE: Singapore's largest travel fair, the NATAS Travel Fair, is seeing intense competition amongst tour operators this year.

The three-day fair, from February 25 to 27 at Singapore Expo, is expected to draw about 68,000 visitors.

Travel agents said popular destinations like Europe, Japan, Korea and China are still bestsellers, although more Singaporeans are heading for exotic destinations like South Africa, Bhutan, and even far-flung South America.

Educational travel for youth, like immersion and home stays, are also on the rise.

Overall, operators are upbeat.

Ayoob Angullia, Managing Director of Shahidah Travel, said: "I think compared to last year, (customers are up by) more than 25 per cent. Who knows, maybe because of the bonus Budget...people are expecting to get the extra money and are willing to spend."
