Hyderabad: Singapore Tourism Board, a development agency for tourism in that country, on Tuesday kickstarted its eight-city roadshow with Hyderabad, to attract travellers from here and other cities across India. In 2018, Singapore received 1.44 million visitors from India, an increase of 13 per cent from 2017.

GB Srithar, Regional Director, India and South Asia, STB, said: "Last year, India retained its position as the third largest source market for Singapore, in terms of visitor arrivals.
Singapore witnessed nearly five lakh visitors from Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai and Bengaluru, an increase of eight per cent compared to 2017. And nearly 2.5 lakh from cities like Hyderabad, Calcutta, Ahmedabad, Pune and Jaipur, an increase of 12 per cent from 2017."
