It’s Lonely Planet’s No. 1 Destination. Where Are the Tourists?

Singapore was ranked as Lonely Planet’s top 2015 destination. That hasn’t helped the island draw more tourists so far this year.
Marina Bay Sands, the casino-resort that’s the biggest hotel in Singapore, posted its lowest average room rate since the end of 2012 as gaming revenue slumped, raising concerns the outlook for tourist arrivals to the city may worsen.
The island-state recorded year-on-year declines in visitors in 14 of the past 15 months through May this year while hotel room rates dropped for 10 straight months. The Singapore dollar has also gained against currencies of some of its biggest tourism markets including Japan, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, making it a more expensive destination.

We have a lot of foreigners on social visit passes, but they're not tourists.

Stop raiding HDB flats and the whores might just return.

January-June visitors from abroad rise to record 9.14 million

A record 9.14 million foreigners are estimated to have visited Japan from January to June this year, a 46 percent increase from the same period in 2014, as the country continued to attract tourists from China, Taiwan and elsewhere, government data showed Wednesday.

The surge in foreign passenger arrivals, which greatly eclipsed the previous high set last year, came on the back of a weaker yen and government measures such as easing visa rules and expanding the scope of duty-free shopping, according to the Japan Tourism Agency.

If they do, be very afraid, because soon they'll take back multiple times of whatever that has been given.

When you have a govt who sue his own citizen and locked up a young boy in IMH for saying his piece, nobody in the right mind will visit a country whose govt behaves like that..

Even the citizens wanna leave.

You want tourism to improve, then have some balls and get rid of the PAP.

It all comes down to having balls.

[airplug]

[airplug]

No one interest to come Singapore lah....

There is nothing worthwhile here. Tourists are better off visiting Malaysia and Thailand. But, if they want to see a clown and gay PM, they have no choice but to come.

What hogwash! Thanks to PAP, my income has risen faster than my expenses for the past 10 years.

From this picture, what so special about skyscraper in this island ?

 

[johnny333]

PAP is responsible for bull dozing the old Spore. Today we are just another uninteresting concrete jungle.

Have heard so many foreigners complaining that Spore is too expensive. Imagine paying $200 per night to stay here where the air quality is poor. Maybe if it was cheaper some tourists may do a short stay but that is unlikely to happen.

STB probabaly paid lonely planet for the publicity. how can a concrete jungle with no natural sights be no 1.
