Indonesians make up Singapore’s largest tourism market

Tourism figures released from the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) for October 2007 have shown a 6.2% increase from the same time last year, with 911,000 visitors.

This is the highest number of visitors Singapore has ever received in October, with Indonesia making up Singapore’s largest tourism market with 215,000 visitors.

This was believed to be from the Hari Raya festival which saw a boost in the number of Indonesian visitor arrivals between October 10 and 19.

China was the second largest with 84,000 visitors in October while Australia ranked third at 75,000. With India and Malaysia at 60,000 and 58,000 respectively, these five markets made up 54% of total visitors to Singapore in October this year.

Singapore’s hotels were believed to have reached a record high in room revenue at $178.4m, a 37.1% rise from last year.
