BANGALORE: Singapore is betting big on visitor arrivals from India and is targeting one million visitors from the country annually starting 2009. At present, India stands fourth in the list of top source-markets for Singapore, behind Indonesia, China and Australia.

According to data available with the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), Indian visitor arrivals into Singapore touched 7,49,000 in 2007, showing a growth of 142% when compared with 2003. This represents the highest percentage growth among Asian countries—prompting the city-state to kick-off a promotional campaign in India.
