Singapore Scores Early Win in Race for Chinese Tourist Dollars

(Bloomberg) — While most of the world is still awaiting the return of deep-pocketed Chinese tourists, tiny Singapore is a global exception.

More than 327,000 people arrived in Singapore from China in February, about 96% of the level seen in 2019, according to data released by Singapore Tourism Board last week. The number is expected to surge in the months ahead, with scheduled departure seats in the first quarter already at 101% of 2019 levels, data from Cirium shows.
