IT looks like the big spenders breezed into town, especially in the second quarter, sending first-half tourism spend by in-bound visitors up 12 per cent to S$11.6 billion year on year.
Visitor arrivals rose 13 per cent to 8.2 million, bolstered partly by a 55 per cent surge in visitors from China, said the Singapore Tourism Board (STB). China is now the biggest source market for Singapore, overtaking Indonesia.
