Singapore Tourist Arrivals Fall In June

Tourist arrivals into Singapore dropped 8.9% year-on-year in June to 750,000, the country's Tourism Board said.

Tourist arrivals from China, Japan and South Korea declined mainly due to the global outbreak of Influenza A (H1N1-2009).

However, of the top 15 tourist markets, arrivals from Malaysia rose 15.3%, from Vietnam by 3.2% and from Indonesia by 3.1%.
