EXPLANATORY NOTES FOR STATISTICS ON VISITOR ARRIVALS
Source of Data
Visitors arriving in Singapore are required to
complete prescribed disembarkation/
embarkation cards which serve as the source
of statistics on visitor arrivals and departures.
The accuracy of figures pertaining to the
characteristics of visitors therefore depends
on how accurately visitors complete these
cards.
Definitions
visitor arrivals
All visitors are classified by country of
residence unless otherwise stated. Total visitor
arrivals include all visitors coming by air
and sea and non-Malaysian citizens coming
by land.
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.
length of stay
The length of stay shows the actual length of
stay in Singapore. The date of arrival as
indicated in the disembarkation/
embarkation card is matched against the
date of departure to compute the actual
length of s tay. As some visitors did not
depart within the calendar year, the number
of visitor departures would be less than the
total visitor arrivals during the year.
In computing the average length of stay,
visitors staying beyond 60 days were treated
as having stayed 60 days for comparability
amongst the ASEAN countries. This is to
ensure that the overall average length of
stay is not affected by long-staying visitors.
visitor days
The number of visitor days for each market
is the product of the respective visitor
arrivals and average length of stay (using a
60-day cut-off point).
Scandinavia" comprises Denmark, Norway
and Sweden.
