Singapore tourist numbers jump by 7.1% to 1.3m visitors

On back of more Chinese and Indian tourists.

Singapore tourism is finally showing signs of life as the city state saw its tourism receipts grow by 2% in the first quarter of 2016 to reach $5.4b.

According to a report by the Singapore Tourism Board, shopping, accommodation and Food & Beverage expenditures grew significantly.

This compensated for the fall in Sightseeing (SEG) that was due largely to the decline in gaming revenue as reported by the integrated resorts, the report said.

“Gazetted hotel room revenue was estimated at $0.8 billion for Q1 2016, a growth of 4.6 per cent year-on-year,” the report added.

However, while the average occupancy rate increased, the Revenue per Available Room (RevPar) declined by 2.3% year-on-year due to a weakened Average Room Rate (ARR).

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
