Tourist arrivals into Singapore dropped 0.5% in October from a year earlier, the Singapore Tourism Board said Tuesday. Tourist arrivals totaled 845,000 in the month.
During the month, visitor arrivals from South Korea dropped 48.1% partly due to continued cautious travel sentiments around the global outbreak of Influenza A
At the same time, nine of the 15 major tourist arrival markets posted growth. The biggest growth of 27.4% came from Hong Kong, mainly due to the attractive trade promotion measures. Robust growth in arrivals was also seen from Malaysia, Vietnam, Australia, Thailand, Germany, the US and the UK. Moreover, visitor arrivals from China posted growth for the first time since May 2008.
