Singapore expects 12 million visitors for 2010

The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) announced its forecast for this year of S$17.5 – S$18.5 billion in tourism receipts.

STB expects 11.5 – 12.5 million in visitor arrivals and has rebranded Singapore as a destination. “Uniquely Singapore” has been changed to “YourSingapore”, unveiled by Senior Minister of State for Trade & Industry and Education, Mr S Iswaran, during the Tourism Industry Conference 2010 held at Resorts World Sentosa.

Ms Aw Kah Peng, STB’s Chief Executive, commented, “Despite last year being an exceptionally challenging one, the tourism industry weathered it credibly. With the global travel industry expected to recover this year and with Singapore offering an even more compelling suite of tourism experiences, including the two Integrated Resorts (IRs) that open this year, we are confident that the sector will be able to register its best performance to date.”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
