Singapore will pump in S$740 million to boost its tourism sector over the next five years. The funds will be used to breathe new life into existing attractions and add fresh experiences. 2025 was a record-breaking year as Singapore raked in S$32.8 billion in tourism receipts, despite visitor arrivals coming in lower than expected at 16.9 million. This year’s tourism receipts are projected to come in between S$31 billion and S$32.5 billion, with 17 million to 18 million international visitor arrivals. Beatrice Yap and Ivy Chok report.
Singapore to inject S$740m into tourism development fund as receipts hit record S$32.8b in 2025
They should install more lighting on the buildings instead of building more stores. Otherwise, Orchard Road will look very dull without beautiful lighting.
Building so many new tourist attractions, yet the ticket prices are so high. Poor tourists who are stingy and calculative aren’t willing to spend money on entrance fees, they will still complain that Singapore is very expensive and boring, with nothing to do!
hope the new tourists love chinese restaurants
For the pop up stores, i hope they get people to curate the brands and vendor and do it on a shorter term basis. Keep it lower cost for local brands to test market first….
Glad that this might stop having invade to run their Night at Orchard events. Most of the booths there are so horrible and embarassing to see at the orchard shopping street.
then increase gst
please bring rentals down in Singapore
Why don’t they consider pumping in to push down rental so that Chinese businesses don’t come in left right centre diluting the local small businesses
This country is like south asian country 3d construction workers all Bangladeshi people they like to harass female tourists
Yo this building are amazing for tourists is see if all that was built Singapore will be the poplar tourist country
