Singapore tourist arrivals surpass one million in March; first time since 2020
SINGAPORE’S international visitor arrivals surpassed one million in March, for the first time since the pandemic began in 2020, the latest figures from the Singapore Tourism Board showed on Thursday (Apr 20).
Tourism arrivals rose to 1,021,036 in March, up from 957,839 visitors recorded in the previous month. While March’s arrival numbers set a new post-pandemic record, it is still below the 1.7 million visitors recorded in January 2020, before the pandemic.
Nevertheless, the continued recovery in visitor arrivals is encouraging, said Maybank economist Lee Ju Ye, noting that tourism arrivals from many major source countries to Singapore have already exceeded 70 per cent of pre-pandemic levels as of March.
