Singapore : Visitor arrivals to Singapore are expected to increase to between 4 million and 6 million in 2022 as global travel picks up pace, said the Singapore Tourism Board (STB).
The projection comes amid the easing of Covid-19 related border restrictions globally, and pent-up demand for travel.
Latest figures showed that Singapore logged 1.5 million visitor arrivals in the first half of 2022, nearly 12 times more compared to the same period in 2021.
Indonesia, which accounted for 282,000 arrivals, was the top source of visitors, followed by India (219,000), Malaysia (139,000), Australia (125,000) and Philippines (81,000).
Together, they accounted for 56 per cent of Singapore's visitor arrivals between January and June 2022.
STB also said that the average length of stay for visitors more than doubled in the first half of 2022 - at about 7.1 days compared to 3.4 days in 2019.
Tourism receipts reached an estimated SD 1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2022, a 213 per cent year-on-year increase over the same period last year. Visitors from Indonesia were the top spenders, followed by India and China.
