Tourism services also includes shopping. Don't underestimate this. Singapore does fine business in bringing foreign shoppers by marketing Singapore as the world's greatest place to eat and shop. To do this it has an excellent airport and its immigration officials are super efficient. Dubai too has the airport and the shopping part. And neither Singapore nor Dubai produce the things that foreigners buy. And Singapore has a smart government, maritime services, petroleum refining, and high technology industries. Dubai doesn't.
