Singapore’s loss of an average of 18,000 to 20,000 tourists a day could escalate as China accounts for 20 percent of arrivals.

The novel coronavirus situation (nCoV) will result in a “significant hit” on Singapore’s tourism sector for 2020, Singapore Tourism Board (STB) revealed in their 2019 year-in-review on Feb. 11. This comes after four years of consecutive growth.

Based on the current situation, STB expects visitor arrivals to drop by 25-30 percent. In a speech at the event, Chief Executive of STB, Keith Tan said that Singapore is losing an average of 18,000 – 20,000 tourists a day.

And this number could possibly get higher. This is especially so as China accounts for 20 percent of such arrivals.
