SINGAPORE : Visitor arrivals continue to see an upward trend in Singapore.
International Visitor Arrivals (IVA) for the third quarter last year stood at close to 3.5 million, representing a 15 per cent year-on-year growth.
July was the highest ever recorded for any single month with some 1.27 million arrivals.
The Singapore Tourism Board said the month of July traditionally attracts more visitors due to summer holidays and annual events such as the Great Singapore Sale.
August and September have the highest recorded IVA for the respective months.
The country chalked up tourism receipts of about S$6 billion for the same period, registering a 12 per cent year-on-year growth.
Indonesia (S$781 million), China (S$603 million), Australia (S$296 million), India (S$296 million) and Japan (S$232 million) were Singapore’s top five Tourism Receipt generating markets for the third quarter of 2011.
