STB attributed the rise to greater air connectivity and the agency's marketing into more cities within the countries.
"For China and India, there was growth from both tier one and tier two cities, due to strong travel demand and increased flight connectivity," said STB.
The largest increase (21 per cent) came from "other tourism receipts", which STB said was mainly due to a rise in airfare revenue as more visitors flew in on Singapore-based carriers.

It takes more than a Hollywood movie to make people come. Take a leaf out of South Korea and have our own movie industry to create some real soft power.
