For the first nine months of last year, tourism receipts reached US$18.8bn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Singapore.- Tourism receipts in Singapore reached a record S$23.9bn (US$18.82bn) in the first three quarters of 2025 That’s a rise of 6.5 per cent year-on-year, according to the Singapore Tourism Board (STB). This performance puts the city-state on track to exceed its full-year projection of between S$29bn (US$22.83bn) and S$30.5bn (US$24bn).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The growth in tourism receipts was driven by higher spending across major categories, with sightseeing, entertainment and gaming, and food and beverage each recording around 15 per cent growth. Mainland China remained the top contributor, with strong food and beverage spending driving year-on-year gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International visitor arrivals climbed to 16.9 million, a 2.3 per cent increase over 2024, led by mainland China (3.1 million), Indonesia (2.4 million), Malaysia (1.3 million), Australia (1.3 million) and India (1.2 million). Growth was also seen from Japan, Malaysia, Germany and the United States, reflecting strong demand across both short- and long-haul markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hotel sector maintained stable performance, with average occupancy rising to 81.9 per cent, while cruise activity also remained strong with 375 ship calls and more than 2 million passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The board attributed the positive momentum to major openings such as Rainforest Wild, Curiosity Cove, Jurassic World: The Experience and the Singapore Oceanarium, as well as a packed calendar of events like ART SG and the F1 Singapore Grand Prix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe strong tourism receipts performance in 2025 puts us on a steady trajectory towards achieving our Tourism 2040 ambitions,” said Melissa Ow, chief executive, Singapore Tourism Board. \u201cWe are attracting visitors who value the distinctive experiences that Singapore offers. To maintain this growth momentum and reinforce our destination appeal and global hub status, we will continue to develop a strong pipeline of differentiated products, events, and experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STB forecasts 17 to 18 million international visitors in 2026, with tourism receipts projected to reach S$31bn (US$24.4bn) to S$32.5bn (US$25.6bn).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
