This diversification of source markets away from the mainstays of Indonesia, China and Malaysia will strengthen Singapore's overall tourism performance in the years ahead.

The government also remains supportive of the tourism industry, announcing SGD905mn in funding for the country's Tourism Development Fund, which the STB believes will 'support the co-creation of innovative tourism products and events, and the enhancement of workforce capabilities'.

In December 2011, the STB said it had appointed a joint venture between local company SATS and Spanish company Creuers del Port de Barcelona to operate the terminal for 10 years. Once it is open, the new terminal will double Singapore's berth capacity and enable larger cruise ships to stop at Singapore. The new terminal will also complement the Singapore Cruise Centre (SCC), which has been undergoing modernisation work reportedly totalling about US$11mn. In 2011, Singapore received 394 cruise ships carrying about 942,000 passengers, according to local media reports. Over half of the cruise ship passengers were foreign nationals, with the growth rate for cruise passengers over 2002-2011 standing at 3.6% per annum. BMI believes Singapore is well placed to establish itself as a regional hub for cruise ships and we expect a steady increase in the number of cruise passengers arriving in the country through to 2016. Furthermore, Singapore has first-mover advantage as it has been able to complete its new cruise terminal ahead of a rival port in Hong Kong, where the new cruise terminal is not expect to open until 2013.
