SINGAPORE - Visitor arrivals to Singapore in September dipped from August despite the city-state hosting the Formula One Grand Prix in the month.
The city-state's tourism authority said on Friday that tourist arrivals in September totalled 947,000, down from 996,000 in August.
But the September figure was 18.4 per cent above the number of arrivals in September 2009, the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) said in a statement.
Visitor arrivals in July jumped 24.1 percent to 1.1 million - a record high.
Indonesia contributed the largest number of visitors with 244,000 in September, while South Korea was the fastest-growing market for Singapore's tourism industry, with visitor arrivals jumping 63 per cent 26,000.
STB's figures do not include the thousands who cross over from Malaysia daily by land.
STB said average occupancy rate at Singapore hotels in September was 82 per cent compared to 85 per cent in August and 77 percent in September 2009.
