Singapore eyes up to 10 pct rise in 2012 visitor arrivals
Singapore hopes to
attract up to 10 percent more visitors this year, Second Minister for Trade and
Industry S Iswaran said on Friday, helped by an increase in cruise tourism.
"STB (Singapore
Tourism Board) is projecting visitor arrivals to be between 13.5 and 14.5
million this year, an increase of up to 10 percent from 2011," Iswaran
said at a tourism conference, according to speech notes provided to reporters.
The board also expects
tourism receipts to reach S$23 to S$24 billion ($18.95 billion) this year, a
rise of up to 8 percent from last year's S$22.2 billion, he added.
Iswaran identified
cruises as a growth area, helped by the development of more fly-cruise
itineraries that make use of Singapore's strategic position as a key Asian
gateway.
Singapore has seen a
boom in tourism in recent years, helped by the hosting of high-profile events
such as the Formula One night race and the opening of two multi-billion-dollar
casino resorts in 2010.
Last year, the Southeast city-state
welcomed a record 13.2 million visitors, state broadcaster Channel NewsAsia
said earlier this week. ($1 =
