Average international tourist length of stay
~8.5 nights
International tourists averaged approximately 8.5 nights per visit in 2024 per MOTS, materially below the pre-pandemic 9.5-10 night average. Shorter stays reflect (a) the surge in regional short-haul visitors from Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam who average 3-5 nights, (b) increased FIT travel that bypasses traditional 7-10 night package itineraries, and (c) softer European and North American long-haul mix which historically averaged 12-15 nights. Per-head spending per night actually improved on the segment shift toward higher-value travellers.
