High roller or not, Singapore wants to attract visitors who are looking to stay longer and experience the country in a more immersive way.

Tourism receipts rose steadily from S$18.9 billion in 2010 to S$27.7 billion in 2019. In 2023, that figure nearly reached the heights of the pre-pandemic era, at S$26.9 billion.
