Where Singapore’s 16.9 million visitor arrivals came from
Mainland China and Indonesia contributed about 5.5 million visitor arrivals to Singapore in 2025. Together the two markets supplied roughly one-third of all international arrivals in the Singapore Tourism Board’s report.

The five named markets supplied approximately 55% of all reported visitor arrivals.
Two nearby markets supplied a large share
The board named Mainland China first at 3.1 million arrivals and Indonesia second at 2.4 million. Malaysia and Australia both round to 1.3 million in the release. The rounded figures are suitable for broad comparisons. Source 1
Visitor spending grew faster than arrival counts
Total arrivals were up 2.3% in 2025. The board’s later full-year release put tourism receipts at SGD 32.8 billion, about 10% above 2024. The arrival table covers volume by market. The receipts figure covers recorded tourism spending. Source 1 Source 2
Business events contributed to the spending figure
The board reported SGD 2.3 billion in receipts from meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions, up from SGD 1.7 billion in 2024. That is a spending measure for one segment of the tourism economy. Source 2
Hotel occupancy and room rates moved differently
Average hotel occupancy rose from 81.4% to 81.9% while the average room rate fell about 1% to SGD 273.56. The board counted 644 additional hotel rooms. Demand and capacity can therefore move together without the average room rate rising. Source 1
