ANNUAL REPORT ON TOURISM STATISTICS 2009
SINGAPORE
In 2009, tourism receipts reached S$12.8 billion. The decline in tourism receipts (-15.7%) in 2009 was due to lower visitor arrivals (-4.3%) and lower per capita spending of visitors (-10.0%). The top five tourism receipts generating markets in 2009 were Indonesia, P R China, Australia, India and Malaysia. These markets accounted for 46% of total tourism receipts in 2009. Malaysia was the only market that achieved positive growth in tourism receipts in 2009. TR of Malaysia increased 11.5% to reach S$678 million, mainly supported by the strong growth in visitor arrivals (+33.1%) during the second half of 2009 and an impressive increase in total expenditure visitors spending (TEV,+23.1%). TR ranking of Malaysia moved up four notches to reach 5th position in 2009.

ANNUAL REPORT ON TOURISM STATISTICS 2009
1. Source of Statistics
Visitors arriving in Singapore are required to complete the Disembarkation/Embarkation (D/E) cards, which serve as the source of statistics on visitor arrivals. The accuracy of figures pertaining to the characteristics of visitors is subject to the accuracy with which the D/E cards are filled up. Since April 2004, fields such as (1) Purpose of Visit (2) Accommodation (3) Frequency of Trip and (4) Travel Arrangement had been removed from the Disembarkation/Embarkation card.
2. Visitor Arrivals
All visitors are classified by country of residence unless otherwise stated. Total visitor arrivals include all visitors arriving by air and sea and non-Malaysian citizens arriving by land.
3. Geographical Classification
The term "ASEAN" stands for "Association of South East Asian Nations" and refers to the ten-country political association comprising Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Philippines, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar,
Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. However, when used in the statistical tables, the term excludes Singapore.
4. Length of Stay
Data on length of stay in this report reflects the actual length of stay in Singapore. The date of arrival is
matched against the date of departure to compute the actual length of stay for each visitor. As some visitors may not depart within the calendar year, the number of visitor departures would be less than the total visitor arrivals for the year.
5. Visitor Days
Visitor Days is the total number of days that international visitors stay in a country outside of their country
of residence, whose main purpose of visit is other than the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the country visited. Visitor Days = Visitor Arrivals x Average Length of Stay.

1. Methodology
Data on visitors profile are obtained mainly from the Overseas Visitors Survey. The annual survey covers a sample of about 20,000 visitors departing Singapore via air, sea and land checkpoints. Face-to-face interviews are conducted with visitors at the departure points throughout the year.
The sample is selected based on a quarterly quota, which is set according to the actual visitor arrival statistics from the same quarter of the previous year. In addition, the data collected are weighted by country of residence, age group and length of stay, based on actual visitor arrival statistics compiled from the D/E cards. This ensures that the profile of visitors surveyed resembles the distribution of visitor arrivals in the total population.
2. Visitor Arrivals
All visitors are classified by country of residence unless otherwise stated. Total visitor arrivals include all visitors arriving by air and sea and non-Malaysian citizens arriving by land.
3. Geographical Classification
The term "ASEAN" stands for "Association of South East Asian Nations" and refers to the ten-country political association comprising Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Philippines, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. However, when used in the statistical tables, the term excludes Singapore.

ANNUAL REPORT ON TOURISM STATISTICS 2009
1. Methodology Data on tourism receipts are obtained mainly from the Overseas Visitors Survey, as well as data from Department of Statistics and Customs Excise Department. The annual survey covers a sample of about 20,000 visitors departing Singapore via air, sea and land checkpoints. Face-to-face interviews are conducted with visitors at the departure points throughout the year.
The sample is selected based on a quarterly quota, which is set according to the actual visitor arrival statistics from the same quarter of the previous year. In addition, the data collected are weighted by country of residence, age group and length of stay, based on actual visitor arrival statistics compiled from the D/E cards. This ensures that the profile of visitors surveyed resembles the distribution of visitor arrivals in the total population.
2. Definitions
Tourism Receipts comprise mainly Total Expenditure of Visitors (TEV) and include expenditure from transit passengers, foreign air/sea crew and foreign students. TEV refers to any expenditure incurred by visitors during their stay in Singapore as well as the amount they
prepaid on components such as accommodation and sightseeing tours before arrival. Per capita expenditure refers to per person expenditure or per trip expenditure.

With effect from 1 July 2007 the cess rate has been reduced to 0% . Maximum room-nights — Room-nights calculated based on total hotel room inventory for all gazetted hotels. Paid lettings — Refers to room lettings paid for by hotel guests. Available room-nights — Maximum rooms - rooms under renovation, for staff use, others. Gross lettings (Room Nights) — Adjusted paid letting + complimentary lettings.

2. Definitions Hotel Tier
STB has published hotel statistics under a new hotel tiering system based on a combination of factors such
as average room rates, location and product characteristics in 2008 issue of the Tourism Focus.
In the previous system, the hotels are fixed within tiers based on a fixed set of ARR ranges. In the current
system, there is flexibility for hotel movement among the different tiers based on the hotel’s performance
in the previous year as well as any change in the hotel’s product characteristics through upgrading or
revamp projects, among others. Furthermore, the ARR range for each tier is not fixed and may change
during the annual review exercise of the tiering system that will be done at the beginning of each year.
The current system allows for better adjustments to the rates driven by market forces.
Under the new tiering system, hotels are categorised into Luxury, Upscale, Mid-tier and Economy tiers
based on hotel performance and characteristics in 2007.
• Luxury - Includes hotels in the luxury segment and are predominantly in prime locations and/or in
historical buildings
• Upscale - Includes hotels in the upscale segment and are generally in prime locations or hotels with
boutique positioning in prime or distinctive locations
• Mid-Tier - Includes hotels in the mid-tier segment and are primarily located in prime commercial zones
or immediately outlying areas
• Economy - Includes hotels in the budget segment and are generally located in outlying areas
STB will review the group of hotels in each tier at the beginning of every year to ensure that the hotels in
the respective tiers and the system as a whole remains relevant and updated. This will also better reflect
industry trends and developments in the hospitality sector.
