OCTOBER marked yet another dismal month for tourism, as arrivals dipped year-on-year for the fifth consecutive month, according to official figures released yesterday.

Singapore Tourism Board (STB) statistics show that 843,000 travellers visited the country last month, an 8 per cent drop over the same period last year.

The figure was the single biggest monthly tumble since arrivals started falling in June.
