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.

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.
