Visitor arrivals to Singapore rose 18% on year to 996,000 in August, marking the ninth straight month of record arrivals to the island nation, according to a government statement Tuesday.

Indonesia, China, Malaysia, Australia and India were the top five visitor-generating markets, accounting for half the arrivals in August, the Singapore Tourism Board said, adding that 14 out of the 15 top markets registered growth in arrivals during the month.

The statement attributed the increase to the draw of the two integrated casino resorts that opened earlier this year and to the Youth Olympic Games hosted by Singapore in August.

Hotels’ average occupancy rate rose 7.6 percentage points to 85% in August, generating an estimated $172 million in hotel room revenue, an increase of 37.1% over last year, it said.
