On the horizon
The tourism sector faced challenges due to the pandemic, with closures, low hotel occupancy, halted flights and fewer tourist visits. Despite this, strong government support ensured the sector’s survival. In June, 1.13 million visitors returned to Singapore for leisure and work, signalling a resurgence in the hospitality industry.
Although tourism has yet to recover to pre-Covid-19 levels fully, Singapore is organising events to attract tourists and revitalise the hospitality field. Its business and financial hub status also contributed significantly to the recovery, with rising corporate visitors attending conferences, trade shows, and industry events, supporting the hospitality and the meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (Mice) sectors.
