India continued to be an important source market for Singapore’s tourism sector in the first half of 2026, with visitor arrivals crossing 600,000 between January and June, reflecting consistent and steady growth. The market also delivered a strong performance on tourism receipts, recording S$374 million in Q1 2026, up 8% year-on-year and the highest growth among all source markets.
This underscores Singapore’s enduring appeal among Indian travellers and their growing appetite for quality leisure, lifestyle and business experiences.
Building on this momentum, the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) is deepening its long-term growth strategy in India through strategic partnerships, new destination experiences and targeted marketing initiatives. Together, these efforts are designed to drive quality visitation, encourage repeat travel and strengthen Singapore’s position as the destination of choice for both leisure and MICE travellers from India.
“India’s consistent performance is particularly meaningful given the global headwinds the travel industry has had to navigate in recent times. It is a testament to the strong relationships we have built with Indian travellers, our airline partners and the travel trade over the years.”
“As we look ahead, our focus remains on working closely with our partners to keep Singapore fresh, accessible and compelling — while continuing to drive quality travel and deepen the market’s long-term potential” said Markus Tan, Regional Director (India, Middle East, South Asia & Africa), Singapore Tourism Board, concludes Markus.
