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 stay. 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.

EXPLANATORY NOTES FOR STATISTICS ON HOTEL AND F&B OUTLET
Source of Data
Statistics on the demand and supply of
gazetted hotel rooms and cess collection
are based on monthly statutory returns
submitted to Singapore Tourism Board
since April 1994 except for statistics on
“rooms available” that published in the
‘Forecast on Gazetted Hotel Room Supply”.
These figures are obtained from annual
survey conducted by STB.
Definitions
maximum room-nights
Room-nights calculated based on total
hotel room inventory for all gazetted
hotels.
available room-nights
revenue per available room (revpar)
Revenue per available room
= Standard Average Room Rate divided by
100 Multiple by Standard Average Occupancy
Rate
cess
Cess is an imposition of tax on certain types
of hotel and food and beverage
establishments which have been gazetted
under the Singapore Tourism (Cess
Collection) Act Cap. 305C. The cess rate has
undergone changes as follows: 3% prior to
1990, 4% from January 1990 to March 1991;
3% from April 1991 to March 1992, 4% from
April 1992 to March 1994 and 1% from 1
April 1994 to June 2007. With effect from 1
July the cess rate has been reduced to 0% .
Room-nights available for occupancy
exclude rooms closed for renovations and
staff use as declared in the statutory forms
on a daily basis.

Refers to both paid and complimentary
lettings.
