Overview
Visitor arrivals in Singapore increased by a buoyant 10.5%,
reaching an all-time high of 7,691,399. This strong growth
was spurred by the 10.9% increase in visitors from Asia,
strengthened by continued economic growth in the region. Historically
high arrival figures were recorded for most regions, including
Asia, Europe, Oceania and the Americas.
Sea and air arrivals registered double-digit growth rate — up
13.6% and 10.0% respectively. The increase in air traffic was
led by the 11.9% growth in air arrivals from Oceania, while
the Americas (+25.9%) posted the highest growth in sea arrivals,
followed by Asia (+15.7%).
By purpose of visit, the business-related segment (includes Business,
Business & Pleasure and MICE arrivals) was up by a
strong 12.5%, while holiday traffic increased by 8.5%.
The average occupancy rate of gazetted hotels in Singapore
grew by 8.6 percentage points, to 83.5% in 2000, while the
average room rate increased by 6.5%, to S$127.80.
Tourism receipts performed well in 2000, up 7.0%. This
amounted to a figure of S$10.4 billion. Sales turnover of cesspaying
establishments also showed significant growth of
12.2%, to a total of S$2,834.8 million.
1. COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE
1.1 Visitor Arrivals
Indonesia, India and China registered unprecedented visitor arrivals in 2000. Improving
business confidence in Indonesia aided the growth of arrivals (+8.5%)
from the market. Visitors from India and China exhibited sturdy increases of
20.1% and 16.5% respectively. South Korea and Thailand arrivals also rose
46.3% and 7.5% respectively.
Visitor traffic from Malaysia increased by a notable 10.9%, due to strong growth
in the Malaysian economy. In the case of the North Asian markets of Hong Kong
(+10.0%) and Japan (+8.0%), arrivals were boosted by improved consumer sentiments.
The only major Asian market that posted a fall in visitor arrivals was Taiwan (-
8.4%), due to the fall in holiday arrivals, which was dampened by the political
and economic difficulties in Taiwan.
Europe generated a 7.4% increase in visitor arrivals, riding on the significant
growth recorded by its two major markets — UK and Netherlands. Visitors from
UK were up by 10.8%, prompted by favourable exchange rates. Arrivals from UK
also hit a historical high in 2000. Netherlands had shown good monthly performance
in 2000, ending the year with an increase of 19.6%.
Arrivals from Oceania reached a record level with a 9.2% growth. This was
achieved with the solid increase in visitors from Australia (+9.5%), who were en-

ticed by the attractive airfares to Singapore. New Zealand also registered
a positive growth of 8.8%.
The two other regions — Africa and the Americas — registered 10.4%
and 8.7% increases in visitor arrivals respectively. Traffic from USA
was up by a noteworthy 9.7%, leading to a record high number of visitors.
South Africa (+8.8%), the largest market in Africa, also posted
an increase in arrivals.
1.2 Visitor Days
Indonesia, Japan and India — all Asian markets — registered the highest
proportion of visitor days. Visitor days from Indonesia, accounting
for 18.6% of total visitor days, fell by a marginal 0.9%. Although the
arrivals from Indonesia grew (+8.5%), length of stay of visitors from
the market decreased from 3.8 days in 1999 to 3.4 days in 2000. For
Japan, although length of stay of visitors was down by –1.3%, the increase
in arrivals (+8.0%) more than compensated for the decline,
leading to a 6.6% increase in visitor days. India posted a buoyant
growth in visitor days of 21.3%, largely due to the significant increase
in arrivals (+20.1%), while length of stay increased marginally from
5.2 days to 5.3 days. The visitor days from Japan and India constituted
8.8% and 7.5% of total visitor days respectively.
The next major market in terms of visitor days is UK, representing
6.3% of total visitor days. Visitor days from the market were up by
13.4%, contributed by increases in both visitor arrivals (+10.8%) and
length of stay (+2.4%). Australia, however, showed a marginal decline
in length of stay (-0.4%), which dampened the growth in visitor days
Singapore Annual Report on Tourism Statistics 2000
(+9.1%). In the case of USA, visitor days, accounting for 5.6% of total
visitor days, exhibited a good growth of 11.0% due to increases in
both visitor arrivals (+9.7%) and length of stay (+1.2%). The proportion
of visitor days for Australia and USA was 6.2% and 5.6% respectively.
2. PROFILE
2.1 Demographic Characteristics
Male and female visitors grew by similar rates in 2000 — 10.6% and
10.5% respectively. Most of the male visitors were between the ages of
35 and 44, representing 25.6% of total male visitors. The bulk of female
visitors were in a younger age group, with 26.2% of all female
visitors in the age group 25-34.
The average age of visitors to Singapore remained at 38.1 years.
Among the major markets, Germany (42.2 years), USA (41.6 years)
and UK (41.4 years) registered the highest average age. Visitors from
Asian markets were, on average, younger. The average age of visitors
from Philippines, Indonesia and India was significantly lower at 35.2,
35.3 and 35.9 years respectively. Nearly half of all visitors were in the
age bracket of 25-44. Visitors aged 55 and above accounted for a significant
15.9% of total visitors, while young visitors (19 years and below)
made up 10.3% of all visitors to Singapore.

2.2 Seasonal Pattern
Visitor arrivals to Singapore peaked in July at 707,413 visitors, the
highest ever for any month in history and the first time that monthly
arrivals crossed the 700,000 mark. Other peak months in terms of
visitor traffic were August and December. This corresponded to the
peak arrival months of visitors from Asia.
The monthly arrival trend of visitors from Europe showed a distinct
seasonal pattern. Visitor arrivals from the region peaked in the
months of March, August, October and November and dipped in
June and September.
The last two quarters of the year were popular periods of travel for
visitors from Oceania. In particular, July and September were the
peak months for travel to Singapore.
In the case of the Americas, the first quarter was the most popular period
of travel, especially in the month of March. Africa registered
higher visitor counts in the months of April, July, August and December.
2.3 Mode of Arrival
The majority of visitors, constituting 73.6% of total arrivals, arrived in
Singapore via air (+10.0%). Sea arrivals accounted for 15.0% of all

1 Business-related segment includes Business, Business & Pleasure and MICE arrivals.
visitor traffic and increased by a strong 13.6%, a higher growth rate
compared to other modes of transport. The impressive performance
of sea arrivals from South Korea (+57.9%), Japan (+40.8%) and India
(+40.4%) contributed to the overall increase. Visitors arriving by land,
representing 11.4% of arrivals, also posted an increase of 9.9%.
2.4 Purpose of Visit
Holiday arrivals, representing 48.1% of total arrivals, increased by
8.5%. Markets that registered significant growth in the holiday segment
included South Korea (+54.4%), India (+24.1%), Philippines
(+16.9%), UK (+13.6%) and USA (+10.5%).
Visitors on business-related 1 purposes made up 21.7% of all visitors.
This group of visitors increased by a buoyant 12.5%, fuelled by the
strong growth in business-related traffic from China (+25.1%), India
(+19.7%), Hong Kong (+19.1%) and South Korea (+15.3%).
VFR arrivals posted growth of 5.0%, accounting for 6.4% of total arrivals.
Specifically, the VFR segment from the Philippines (+21.7%) and
China (+18.5%) showed strong growth.
There was nearly as many female holiday visitors as male holiday visitors.
However, male visitors on business-related trips (84.9%) to Singapore
made up the vast majority of the business-related segment . For
the VFR segment, there were slightly more female visitors (50.7%)

than male visitors.
Most of the holiday visitors were on their first visit (70.5%) while only
16.8% of visitors on business-related trips were first-time visitors.
Holiday visitors stayed for an average of 2.8 days, the lowest for any
segment. At the other end of the spectrum, VFR visitors stayed for
about 8.1 days.
2.5 Travel Arrangement
In terms of travel arrangement, visitors on non-group packages
(26.7%) constituted the largest proportion. This group of visitors increased
by 5.3%. Group packaged traffic made up 18.9% of visitors
and grew by a strong 13.3%. Most of the arrivals on group packaged
tours were from Japan, China and South Korea.
Visitors on other travel arrangements made up a significant 23.8% of
total visitor arrivals and increased by 11.6%.
Visitors on non-group packages tend to stay longer than those on
group packages. On average, they stayed 1.5 more days than group
packaged visitors.
2.6 Accommodation
62.3% of the visitors in 2000 chose to stay in hotels. Those who
stayed with friends and relatives accounted for 11.5%. These two
groups of visitors registered growth of 9.7% and 8.4% respectively.
Singapore Annual Report on Tourism Statistics 2000
Over three-quarters of visitors on holiday (77.6%) and businessrelated
(77.4%) trips chose to stay in hotels, while the bulk of VFR
visitors (72.3%) stayed with their friends and relatives.
2.7 Length of Stay
The average length of stay of visitors to Singapore was 3.16 days,
down 0.4%. This marginal decrease was attributable to the significant
increase in visitors who stayed for less than one day (+20.3%). However,
the overall drop in length of stay was mitigated by the good
growth of visitors who stayed for four and five days—up 11.8% and
11.4% respectively.
Visitors from Asia stayed an average of 3.16 days. Visitors from the
Americas registered the longest average length of stay (3.53 days).
Conversely, visitors from Oceania stayed for the shortest length of
time (2.92 days).
3. GAZETTED HOTELS
There were 104 gazetted hotels in Singapore in 2000, providing a total
room supply of 30,469. This was 2.6% more rooms than that in
1999.
Six new hotels started operation in 2000. They were: Century Roxy
Park, Grandmax Hotel, Hotel Windsor, The Fullerton Singapore,
The Gallery Evason and Ubin Lagoon Resort. Hotels that ceased

operations in the same year were Boulevard Hotel and Sunshine Hotel.

but ceased operations on 31 December 2000.
Room nights that were available for letting decreased by a marginal
1.0% to 10,090,788. On the other hand, gross lettings were up by
10.4%, culminating in a total of 8,420,842 room nights.
Both average occupancy rate and room rate showed improvements in
2000. The average occupancy rate increased by 8.6 percentage points,
from 74.9% in 1999 to 83.5% in 2000. The average room rate of all
gazetted hotels in Singapore was S$127.80, an increase of 6.5% over
the S$120.00 registered in 1999.
4. SALES TURNOVER OF CESSABLE ESTABLISH-
MENTS
Due to the significant increases in hotel room and F&B revenue, the
total sales turnover of all cess-paying establishments grew by 12.2% to
S$2,834.8 million.
4.1 Hotel Sector
The gazetted hotels earned a total of S$1,866.8 million in revenue, up
2 F&B establishments under this section exclude those operated by hotels.
Singapore Annual Report on Tourism Statistics 2000
by a strong 14.0%. This was a recovery from the decline in hotel revenue
in 1999 (-2.3%).
Room revenue made up 58.1% of total hotel revenue and exhibited a
solid increase of 17.5%. Double-digit monthly growth in room revenue
culminated in a total of S$1,085.1 million.
The rest of the hotel revenue was from hotel-operated F&B establishments,
which recorded a revenue of S$781.7 million (+9.5%). The
number of these F&B establishments, constituting 34.1% of all cesspaying
F&B establishments, increased marginally from 416 in 1999 to
417 in 2000.
4.2 F&B Sector 2

flights into Singapore, providing a seat capacity of 398,670 seats per
week. The number of incoming flights per week in 2000 was an increase
of 6.4% over 1999, while the weekly seat capacity was up 9.3%.

6. CRUISE
The number of ships calling in Singapore decreased from 51 ships in
1999 to 47 ships in 2000. The number of ship calls (1,213 calls) also
fell by 12.5%, reflecting the drop in the number of ships. As a result,
passenger throughput fell by 11.8% to 898,135 persons.
7. OUTBOUND DEPARTURES OF SINGAPORE
RESIDENTS BY AIR AND SEA
There were 4,443,542 outbound departures by Singapore residents in

total outbound departures, increased by 10.7%. Sea departures posted
a buoyant growth of 13.6%.
The peak months of outbound travel were June, November and December.
Departures numbered more than 400,000 for each of the
three months.
8. TOURISM RECEIPTS
Tourism receipts, accounting for 22.3% of Singapore’s services exports
and 3.6% of total export of goods and services, totalled S$10.4
billion in 2000. This represented an increase of 7.0%.
Singapore Annual Report on Tourism Statistics 2000
EXPLANATORY NOTES
1. Source of Statistics
Visitors arriving in Singapore are required to complete the prescribed
disembarkation/embarkation cards, which serve as the source of statistics
on visitor arrivals. The accuracy of figures pertaining to the
characteristics of visitors therefore depends on how accurately visitors
fill out these cards.
2. Visitor Arrivals
All visitors are classified by country of residence unless otherwise
stated. Total visitor arrivals include all visitors arriving by air and sea
and non-Malaysian citizens arriving by land.
From 1995 onwards, visitor arrivals from the ASEAN markets are recorded
by individual country of residence, namely, Brunei, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Lao PDR and Myanmar.
Arrivals from Cambodia have also been included in ASEAN arrivals
since May 1999.
3. Geographical Classification
‘CIS’ denotes The Commonwealth of Independent States, which consists
of Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Russian Federation, Uzbekistan, Armenia,
Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Republic of Moldova, Tajikistan
and Turkmenistan.

With Finland singled out in 1998, ‘Scandinavia’ now comprises only
Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
‘n.e.c.’ denotes ‘not elsewhere classified’.
With effect from 1992, Turkey is classified under Europe instead of
Asia and the growth rates for both regions have been adjusted accordingly
in the relevant tables.
4. Type of Accommodation
The type of accommodation given is compiled from visitors’ responses
to the disembarkation/embarkation cards. Hence, the tables
analyzed by this item reflect statements of intent.
5. Length of Stay
The length of stay reflects the actual length of stay in Singapore. The
date of each 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 may 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 also ensures that the overall average
length of stay is not affected by long-staying visitors
Singapore Annual Report on Tourism Statistics 2000
6. Cruise Statistics
Cruise statistics are provided by PSA Corporation Limited. Passenger
throughput refers to the sum of all embarking cruise passengers (i.e.
those who arrived in Singapore by air or land but departed on a
cruise), disembarking cruise passengers (i.e. those who arrived on a
cruise ship but departed by other means) and full-cruise passengers (i.
e. those who arrived and departed on the same cruise ship). In addition,
cruise passengers from Singapore are included.
7. Outbound Departures of Singapore Residents
These statistics are provided by the Singapore Immigration and Registration
Department. All citizens and permanent residents departing
by air and sea are included in the statistics.

(1) The standard average room rate is defined as revenue per room and is computed dividing total room revenue by the number of gross lettings (paid and complimentary lettings).
Prior to January 1 1994, the Hotel Average Room Rate (ARR) was calculated using projected room revenue based on actual room Cess collection obtained from the Customs and Excise Department.
Subsequently, the ARR was calculated based on actual turnover reported in the Monthly Statutory Return submitted to STB since April 1994. Hence the data w.e.f. January 1994 are strictly not comparable with that of previous years.
(2) Room-nights available for letting and gross lettings are compiled from statutory returns submitted by gazetted hotels to STB.

Notes:
* These exclude Food & Beverage Establishments Operated by Hotels.
Prior to January 1 1994, breakdown in terms of the number of hotel-operated F&B outlets within individual hotels were unavailable from the returns submitted to Custom and Excise Department.
Subsequently, each hotel-operated outlet was classified as an individual establishment in the Monthly Statutory Return submitted to the STB since April 1994. Hence the data w.e.f. January 1994 are strictly not comparable with that of previous years.
