SINGAPORE’S international visitor arrivals grew for the fifth straight month in June, once again hitting a new record number of travellers since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the latest figures from the Singapore Tourism Board (STB).
Some 543,732 visitors arrived in Singapore in June, up from the 418,458 recorded in May. But this was still far below the 1.6 million recorded in June 2019 before the pandemic.
The continued month-on-month growth is in part due to Singapore benefiting from the lockdowns in China, and to some degree Japan, which are both still lagging behind in the travel relaxation curve, said DBS Group Research analyst Geraldine Wong.
