Singapore’s visitor arrivals dip in August as travel demand cools due to seasonal factors

SINGAPORE’S international visitor arrivals slipped to 1.31 million in August, as inbound travel tapered off due to seasonal tourism demand.

August’s reading was slightly down from the 1.42 million recorded in July, based on Singapore Tourism Board’s latest data released on Wednesday (Sep 20). It is also slightly less than double the 728,744 visitors recorded in August 2022.

“The fall in visitor arrivals was due to seasonality, with inbound travel falling off after the mid-year school holidays,” said Wong Xian Yang, head of research for Singapore and South-east Asia at Cushman & Wakefield.
