Singapore’s tourism sector has bounced back strongly in 2025, with tourism receipts hitting a record S$23.9 billion in the first three quarters—a year-on-year growth of over 6%. International visitor arrivals reached around 16.9 million, slightly below earlier forecasts, according to the Singapore Tourism Board.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Christopher Khoo, Managing Director of MasterConsult Services, to unpack the trends shaping Singapore’s tourism industry and what they mean for businesses, travellers, and the economy.
