Singapore saw a tourism boost in November with 1.23 million arrivals, a 12.2% growth, led by travelers from Indonesia, China, and Malaysia. Singapore recorded 1.23 million international arrivals in November, marking a 12.2% year-on-year growth, as per the latest figures from the Singapore Tourism Board. Indonesia led the way with 194,440 visitors, a 5.5% increase compared to November 2023. China followed closely with 174,750 arrivals, representing an impressive 67.5% surge from the previous year. Analysts credit this substantial rise to the mutual visa exemption agreement between China and Singapore, introduced in February. For the first 11 months of 2024, China became the leading source of travelers to Singapore. Malaysia ranked third with approximately 101,920 visitors, showing a 9.1% increase from the same period last year.
