More than one million Indian travellers visited Singapore last year to celebrate Golden Jubilee, making it one of the most preferred destinations to vacation. Singapore Tourism Board recently announced that the nation recorded over one million visitor arrivals from India in 2015, marking a year-on-year growth of 7.4 per cent in visitor arrivals. To celebrate this landmark achievement, Singapore Tourism Board surprised all passengers flying to the country on December 31, 2015 with special in-flight celebratory experiences in partnership with three airlines, namely Air India, Jet Airways and Singapore Airlines.
Chee Pey Chang, Executive Director, South Asia, Middle East & Africa – Singapore Tourism Board said, “2015 was a landmark year for us as Singapore celebrated its Golden Jubilee. Last year, the Singapore Botanic Gardens was accredited as a UNESCO World Heritage site and the opening of the National Gallery Singapore and Indian Heritage Centre generated great interest among Indian travellers. We wanted to thank our friends from India for their encouraging support and we continue to welcome them to experience Singapore’s cultural and heritage gems, diverse food experiences and vibrant nightlife interspersed amidst Singapore’s eclectic lifestyle offerings.”
