Singapore

SINGAPORE is once again placed among the world's top 10 destination cities, according to this year's MasterCard Index of Global Destination Cities (GDCI). But the Republic's ranking has slipped to seventh place with an estimated 11.88 million international overnight visitors for 2015, from sixth place in 2014.

The index annually charts 132 cities based on projections of total international visitor arrivals (by air), and their cross-border spending within these cities. This year, London topped the index with 18.82 million expected international visitors, followed closely by Bangkok with 18.24 million.
