Singapore's tourist count pegged to edge up by 2.8-7.6%

But it won't grow as much as it used to.

According to Knight Frank, the STB recently forecasts 2013 tourism receipts to be in the range of about S$23.5 billion to S$24.5 billion, an increase of about 2.2 per cent to 6.5 per cent from 2012. 

Visitor arrivals are expected to be in the range of about 14.8 million to 15.5 million, an increase of about 2.8 per cent to 7.6 per cent from 2012.

"However, the government noted that global tourism growth is moderating and visitor arrivals to Singapore may not be able to continue to grow at the high rates seen in recent years," Knight Frank said.

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.
