The total number of visitors reached over 326,000. Meanwhile, the average length of stay stood at 4.22 days, representing a 55.9% decline YoY.

“This is a good indication of increased interest from Chinese travellers in visiting Singapore following the implementation of mutual visa-free travel, and also shows that they are willing to spend more to do so. These are good signs for Singapore tourism as not only are visitor numbers going up, the average expenditure per traveller is also rising. This supports what the STB had projected earlier this year - that while visitor figures may not reach 2019 levels, tourism receipts are likely to come close to matching them,” Edmund Ong, General Manager of Trip.com Singapore said.

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.
