Singapore’s hospitality sector looks set to benefit from a strong rebound in tourism, with the Singapore Tourism Board’s target of 17–18 million visitor arrivals in 2026 expected to be met, boosting hotel performance, tourist receipts and retail sales compared with 2025. OCBC Research notes that while 2025’s arrivals of 16.9 million were slightly below target, they still represented a recovery to about 88.5 % of pre‑Covid levels, and a full year of stronger events, conferences and exhibitions should support further growth. Stocks tied to hospitality and aviation may gain from these trends, and efforts to align industry training with real‑world needs, such as a memorandum of understanding between SP and aviation partners to strengthen maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) skills for students.
