Visitor arrivals to S’pore drop 9.7% on—year in Nov
Channel NewsAsia - 1 hour 33 minutes ago
SINGAPORE: Visitor arrivals to Singapore dropped again in November.
The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) says 760,000 visitors came last month, a drop of 9.7 per cent, compared to November last year.
Indonesia, China, Australia, Malaysia and India were Singapore’s top five visitor—generating markets, accounting for 49 per cent of total visitor arrivals for last month.
STB says since June this year, there has been a decline in visitor arrivals to Singapore, reflecting the continued impact of the worsening global economic slowdown on consumer sentiments.
Thus, visitor arrivals are expected to fall short of the 2008 target of 10.8 million tourists.
STB adds that it has focused its efforts to increase visitor spending during the year—end festive period.
Singapore hotels hope to generate S$161 million in room revenue, a drop of six per cent compared to November last year.
