    SINGAPORE could well miss its visitor arrivals target in 2014, but the new year may bring a stronger performance for the tourism industry.

    The plunge in the number of travellers from China - one of Singapore's biggest source markets - after the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 has been a major factor contributing to the drop in tourist volumes this year.
