SINGAPORE (AFP) — The number of visitors to Singapore fell 4.1 percent in June, the first monthly decline after more than four years of gains, the city-state's tourism board said.
"Prior to June 2008, Singapore's tourism sector had achieved 51 consecutive months of year-on-year growth" in visitor arrivals, the board said in a statement late Friday.
June's decline followed an increase of 0.8 percent in April and May as the economic climate worsened, the board said.
