Too small to receive that many tourists.
I think for those countries next to each other, most of their tourists are from neighbouring countries. I think a lot of our 'tourists' come from Malaysia and Indonesia.
USA and Mexico pair is another example. They visit each other A LOT.

Lots? Er, our numbers are small compared to the large countries which have MANY cities with also a lot of hotels. How to compare? We only 1 single city.

B4 Covid19, a survey shown arrival international tourists visited Singapore on average one and a half days.
Recorded, a large numbers came thru causeway from Malaysia.
That's very very short stay by any standard..

Being reported as the World's most expensive city, the numbers of international visitors to Singapore will certainly, spiral downward

Is Singapore in trouble?
So, what has gone very wrong?
Maybe SWF, Temasek shouldnt have invested in FTX cryptocurrency but instead donate those $377 million to UN World Tourism Org.
A very Good chance, Singapore be ranked within top 10 in 2023.

Missed the forest for the trees
.
With 2 casinos, Sands and Resort World, adding T5 jewel yet, Singapore cannot crawl near to UN list of most beloved countries.
So, What do you think SG Govt should do next?
Despite losing its title luxury retail crown, Hongkong was ranked highly @ 14 place.
Despite Singapore Govt's effort to attract more tourists while SIA launched an additional 3rd A380 Flight to London yet, Singapore is still not listed by UN World Tourism Org.
What's wrong with Singapore as compared to Malaysia and Hongkong?
