Visitor arrivals drop in May but remain above one million

The 1.11 million visitors that arrived in May is still more than double the arrivals a year ago.

Visitor arrivals dropped slightly in May but remained over a million, according to latest figures from the Singapore Tourism Analytics Network, a government agency website that references data from the Singapore Tourism Board.

A total of 1.11 million visitors entered the Lion City in May, official figures showed, based on the number of SG Arrival Cards collected during the month. This is 165.9% higher than a year ago, when Singapore recorded only 418.46 thousand arrivals.

The number of visitor arrivals, however, was lower than the 1.13 million arrivals recorded in April.

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.
