Tourist arrivals dip 8.1%

By Lim Wei Chean

TOURIST arrivals to Singapore fell by 8.1 per cent, from a year ago, according to latest statistics released by the Singapore Tourism Board on Wednesday.

A total of 843,000 tourists came, the lowest in a year.

The only silver lining is that they are staying longer. Visitor-days went up 1.7 per cent to 3.3 million days, compared to last year.
