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. International 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 in this publication, 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 26,000 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. International 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 in this publication, the term excludes Singapore.

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
26,000 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.
Figures for 2007-2009 have been revised from previous publications based on this updated methodology which
allows for a more regular and timely representation of tourism receipts.
2. Definitions
Tourism Receipts comprise any expenditure incurred by visitors (including transit passengers, foreign air/sea crew
and foreign students) 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 per trip expenditure.

Cruise Statistics are provided by the Singapore Cruise Centre and SATS-Creuers Cruise Services. Passenger
throughput refers to the sum of all embarking cruise passengers (i.e. those who arrived in Singapore by air or land
but departed on a cruise), disembarking cruise passengers (i.e. those who arrived on a cruise ship but departed by
other means) and full- cruise passengers ( i.e. those who arrived and departed on the same cruise ship). In
addition, the numbers include cruise passengers who are Singaporean citizens or permanent residents.
