Encouraging signs for Singapore tourism as visitor numbers on the rise
Singapore welcomed a total of around 124,760 visitor arrivals through January and February, representing a better than 200% improvement over the same period in 2020, according to the CEO of the Singapore Tourism Board (STB).
The improved numbers, reported by local media outlet The Straits Times, follow the launch of Vaccinated Travel Lanes last September and the gradual easing of border restrictions for arrivals from 30 countries in the months since.
The STB’s Keith Tan said Singapore had welcomed 67,760 international visitor arrivals in January, up from 23,148 in January 2021, and around 57,000 international visitor arrivals in February, up from 17,953.
