During the period 20-26 May, Singapore visitor arrivals declined 69% as compared to the same period last
year, with arrivals from countries like P.R. China, Japan, India, Germany and Malaysia
declining over 70%.
In terms of absolute arrivals during the period from 1 May 2003 to 26
May 2003 the P.R. China, Indonesia, Japan, India and Malaysia registered the largest drops
in arrival numbers. It
needs to be remembered that these figures are for dates prior to the WHO
removing Singapore from the SARS affected countries list, as well as
downgrades on travel advisories from various countries. What affect
these positive moves make to Singapore's visitor arrivals will only be
seen in future figures.
