Singapore

SINGAPORE'S visitor arrivals in June plummeted to 2,200 from 1.6 million a year ago, the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has said. Visitors numbered 880 in May and 750 in April, compared to 1.5 million in May 2019, and 1.6 million in April 2019.

The low arrival figures over the three months means that the Republic's H1 total of 2.7 million visitor arrivals was little changed from its Q1 total. Visitor arrivals for H1 2019 numbered 9.3 million, more than three times higher.
