(Singapore).- Singapore’s October visitor arrivals registered year-on-year and sequential increase. But the number of overnight visitors, and their average length of stay, both declined from a year ago, according to the latest statistics from Singapore Tourism Board (STB).
The city-state recorded 1.31 million visitor arrivals last month, up 16.7 percent year-on-year, and 3.1 percent sequentially.
The October overnight-visitor tally was 367,800, down 58.4 percent year-on-year. Average stay length across the whole inbound market that month was 3.0 days, down 15.5 percent year-on-year.
In October the top three feeder markets were China (234,530), Indonesia (183,710) and Malaysia (103,430). The average stay length of visitors from those three markets was, respectively, all below the market-wide average of 3.0 days.
Of those three source markets, the mainland Chinese-visitor cohort maintained the highest year-on-year growth, at 91.0 percent. The October average stay length for that visitor segment was 2.94 days. For Indonesian visitors it was 2.58 days, and for Malaysian visitors, 1.84 days.
Overall, the October performance took the arrivals tally for the first 10 months of the year, to 13.90 million. That was up 23.3 percent year-on-year and an 87.6-percent recovery compared to the same period of 2019, the trading year before the Covid-19 pandemic.
China was the top source market in the first ten months of this year, as it had been during 2019. In the January to October period, the city-state saw an aggregate of 2.71 million visitor arrivals from China, an 87.1-percent recovery on the same time frame in 2019.
Singapore is home to a casino duopoly shared between Marina Bay Sands, controlled by United States-based Las Vegas Sands Corp; and Resorts World Sentosa, run by Genting Singapore Ltd.
