The Singapore government expects moderate growth in tourism as the country has likely fallen short of its target of 15 million international arrivals for 2012. Singapore is expecting tourism receipts of S$24.5 billion and 14.8 million international visitors for 2013, a 2% increase from its target for 2012. Tourism growth is gradually slowing around the world, and Singapore will not be exempt. Following a biennial report released by the World Economic Forum, Singapore ranked first in Asia for its travel and tourism industry competitiveness and tenth among 140 countries worldwide.
