Tourism spending in Singapore reached a record $23.9 billion in the first three quarters of 2025, representing a 6.5% increase from the same period in 2024. This puts the sector on track to surpass the Singapore Tourism Board’s (STB) full-year forecast of $29 billion to $30.5 billion. Temasek Polytechnic’s School of Business  senior lecturer for lifestyle and consumer experience Benjamin Cassim said that STB should ensure a sufficient range of experiences that encourages visitors to stay longer. He added that tourists also value convenience in air connectivity and ground transport, safety and security, and a welcoming environment.
