Malaysia’s arrivals fell by 10.6%, mainly due to the 

drop in holiday traffic (-29.6%). Repeat visitors also

double-digit growth (+37.3%) in visitor arrivals

EXPLANATORY NOTES 

VISITOR ARRIVALS STATISTICS 

Source of Data 

Visitors arriving in Singapore are required to 

complete prescribed disembarkation/ 

embarkation cards which serve as the source 

of statistics on visitor arrivals and departures. 

The accuracy of figures pertaining to the 

characteristics of visitors therefore depends on 

how accurately visitors complete these cards. 

Definitions 

visitor arrivals 

All visitors are classified by country of residence 

unless otherwise stated. Total visitor arrivals include 

all visitors coming by air and sea and non- 

Malaysian citizens coming by land. 

The term "ASEAN" stands for "Association of 

South East Asian Nations" and refers to the tencountry 

political association comprising 

Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Philippines, 

Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, 

and Vietnam. However, when used in the 

statistical tables, the term excludes Singapore. 

“CIS” denotes The Commonwealth of Independent 

States, which consists of Azerbaijan, Ukraine, 

Russian Federation, Uzbekistan, Armenia, 

Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Republic of 

Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Georgia. 

type of accommodation 

The type of accommodation given is compiled 

from visitors' responses to the disembarkation/ 

embarkation cards. Hence, the tables analysed 

by this item reflect statements of intent. 

length of stay 

The length of stay shows the actual length of stay 

in Singapore. The date of arrival as indicated in 

the disembarkation/embarkation card is 

matched against the date of departure to compute 

the actual length of stay. As some visitors 

did not depart within the calendar year, the 

number of visitor departures would be less than 

the total visitor arrivals during the year. 

In computing the average length of stay, visitors 

staying beyond 60 days were treated as having 

stayed 60 days for comparability amongst the 

ASEAN countries. This is to ensure that the 

overall average length of stay is not affected by 

long-staying visitors. 

visitor days 

The number of visitor days for each market is 

the product of the respective visitor arrivals and 

average length of stay (using a 60-day cut-off 

point). 

"Scandinavia" comprises Denmark, Norway and 

Sweden. 

"n.e.c." denotes "not elsewhere classified". 

purpose of visit 

"In transit" visitors stay one day or less. Visitors 

staying one day are necessarily overnight visitors.

EXPLANATORY NOTES 

HOTEL AND CESS COLLECTION 

STATISTICS 

Source of Data 

Statistics on the demand and supply of gazetted 

hotel rooms and cess collection are based 

on monthly statutory returns submitted to 

Singapore Tourism Board since April 1994 

except for statistics on “rooms available” that 

published in the ‘Forecast on Gazetted Hotel 

Room Supply”. These figures are obtained 

from annual survey conducted by STB. 

Definitions 

maximum room-nights 

Room-nights calculated based on total hotel 

room inventory for all gazetted hotels. 

available room-nights 

Room-nights available for occupancy exclude 

rooms closed for renovations and staff use as 

declared in the statutory forms on a daily basis. 

gross lettings 

standard/ nominal average room rate 

Standard average room rate 

= Total room revenue divided by Gross lettings 

Nominal average room rate 

= Total room revenue divided by paid lettings 

cess 

Cess is an imposition of tax on certain types of 

hotel and food and beverage establishments 

which have been gazetted under the Singapore 

Tourism (Cess Collection) Act Cap. 305C. The 

cess rate has undergone changes as follows: 3% 

prior to 1990, 4% from January 1990 to March 

1991; 3% from April 1991 to March 1992 and 

4% from April 1992 to March 1994. With effect 

from 1 April 1994, the cess rate has been reduced 

to 1% following the introduction of a 3% Goods 

and Services Tax (GST). 

Refers to both paid and complimentary lettings. 

paid lettings 

Refers to room lettings which are paid for by 

hotel guests 

standard/ nominal average occupancy rate 

Standard average occupancy rate 

= Gross lettings divided by Available roomnigths 

Nominal average occupancy Rate 

= Paid lettings divided by Maximum roomnights
