    SINGAPORE’S international visitor arrivals grew to 957,605 in February, setting a new record since the pandemic began, latest figures from the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) showed on Friday (Mar 10).

    February’s arrival numbers rose from 931,652 in the preceding month, but remained below the 1.7 million visitors recorded in January 2020, before the Covid-19 pandemic.

    The month’s increase “highlights an expectation of a sustainable recovery pattern”, said Govinda Singh, Colliers’ executive director of hotels and leisure in Asia.
