SG to log $24.5b-$26b tourism receipts in 2023, beating STB forecast

In 9M23, tourism receipts already crossed the $20b mark.

Singapore Tourism Board (STB) expects full-year tourism receipts (TR) to reach $24.5b-$26b, surpassing its initial forecast of $18b-$21b.

TR already crossed the $20b mark in the first nine months of 2023.

In 9M23, the top TR-generating markets were China, Indonesia, and Australia, contributing $2.3b, $22.b, and $1.5b, respectively, in TR, excluding sightseeing, entertainment, and gaming.

Meanwhile, Singapore's international visitor arrivals (IVA) had already reached 13.6 million, meeting STB’s full-year forecast of 12 million-14 million visitors.

In 2023, visitors spent more time in Singapore than pre-pandemic level, with their average length of stay being 3.8 days.

In 2024, STB expects the continuous recovery of the tourism sector with improved global flight connectivity and capacity and the implementation of the mutual 30-day visa-free travel between China and Singapore.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
