Visitor spending predicted to increase by 5%

On back of 17m tourist arrival forecast.

According to CIMB, with higher yield-driven quality growth, it predicts tourism receipts to increase by about 5% per annum (in line with STB’s forecast of 4-6%) over the next couple of years to 2016.

Here's more:

Back in 2005, STB forecast visitor arrivals of 17m per year by 2015. With 2013 drawing around 13.5m visitors, coupled with more attractions and events to support further growth in tourism, we remain confident that the visitor arrival numbers could rack up 4.7% CAGR over the next two years to attain the forecast of 17m by 2015.

In addition, as the Singapore government continues to promote tourism growth, STB offers different types of schemes such as Tourism Product Development Fund, Leisure Events Fund, Cruise Development Fund etc., to promote the creation of new tourism products and experiences.

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.
