Singapore's tourist count jumps 9.1% to 14.4m

But the length of stay dipped to just 3.45 days.

According to OCBC, while visitor arrival figures for 1Q12 to 3Q12 demonstrated declining rates of YoY growth (+14.7%, +8.3%, +3.1% respectively), 4Q12 staged a rebound with visitor arrivals up 11.0% at 3.7m (preliminary figures).

2012 visitor arrivals totaled 14.4m, up 9.1% and near the high end of STB’s 13.5m-14.5m target.

Here's more from OCBC:

However, the total gross lettings for hotels was stagnant at 10.7m room nights.

It is likely that the average length of stay has declined further from the 3.73 days in 2011, e.g. down to 3.45 days, and larger proportions of tourists may be staying in non-hotel accommodations.

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.
