More and more Vietnamese travel to Singapore
Vietnamese visitor arrivals to Singapore numbered 90,000 in the first quarter of 2014, representing a double-digit positive growth rate of 13%, according to the Singapore Tourism Board (STB).
Outbound travel from Vietnam has also increased in recent years as travel as a lifestyle activity gains popularity among the Vietnamese, the board added.
Singapore’s international visitor arrivals in the January-March period held steady at 3.9 million from the same quarter last year. Indonesia, China, Malaysia, Australia, and Japan were Singapore’s top five tourist sources.
The Republic of Korea (RoK) was ranked seventh with 153,000 arrivals, up 17% year-on-year. The STB attributed the growth for RoK visitors to an appreciation of the Korean Won and the introduction of Scoot as the only low-cost carrier flying the Singapore-Seoul route from June 2013.
