Singapore expects 12 million visitors for 2010

The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) announced its forecast for this year of S$17.5 – S$18.5 billion in tourism receipts.

STB expects 11.5 – 12.5 million in visitor arrivals and has rebranded Singapore as a destination. “Uniquely Singapore” has been changed to “YourSingapore”, unveiled by Senior Minister of State for Trade & Industry and Education, Mr S Iswaran, during the Tourism Industry Conference 2010 held at Resorts World Sentosa.

Ms Aw Kah Peng, STB’s Chief Executive, commented, “Despite last year being an exceptionally challenging one, the tourism industry weathered it credibly. With the global travel industry expected to recover this year and with Singapore offering an even more compelling suite of tourism experiences, including the two Integrated Resorts (IRs) that open this year, we are confident that the sector will be able to register its best performance to date.”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
