June visitor arrivals to Singapore tallied 1.25 million. That took the city-state’s aggregate inbound visitor volume for the first half of this year to 8.33 million, representing an 89.4 percent recovery to the equivalent period in 2019, the trading year before the Covid-19 pandemic. That is according to updated figures from the Singapore Tourism Board (STB).
The June visitor arrival tally was flat year-on-year. In that month, the number of overnight visitors was 924,230 – also flat compared to a year earlier – though the segment accounted for circa 74 percent of the visitor total.
The top five source markets last month were: Indonesia (205,550); China (197,180); India (112,720); Malaysia (100,980) and Australia (90,890).
The June tallies from Indonesia, Malaysia and Australia showed year-on-year growth, though the average stay length of visitors from each of these feeder markets was below the average across all international visitor segments: the latter figure being 3.7 days during that month.
In June, the tallies from both China and India showed year-on-year decline.
The average stay length of visitors from India, however, was above the international-markets average, at 7.16 days. The average for visitors from China was 3.67 days.
The overall June numbers took Singapore’s visitor arrivals in the first six months of this year to 8.33 million, up 1.9 percent from the same period in 2024.
The January to June tally reached 89.4 percent of the city-state’s inbound visitor volume in the equivalent period in 2019, which had stood at 9.32 million.
The leading feeder markets for Singapore’s inbound-travel market during the first half of this year were: China (1.48 million); Indonesia (1.28 million); and India (647,240). Each of these cohorts showed over 80 percent recovery relative to the equivalent period in 2019, show the tourism board’s records.
