Official description
Data on visitors’ profile are obtained mainly from the Overseas Visitors Survey. The annual survey covers a sample of about 26,000 visitors departing Singapore via air, sea and land checkpoints. Face-to-face interviews are conducted with visitors at the departure points throughout the year.
Methodology
The sample is selected based on a quarterly quota, which is set according to the actual visitor arrival statistics from the same quarter of the previous year. In addition, the data collected are weighted by country of residence, age group and length of stay, based on actual visitor arrival statistics compiled from the D/E cards. This ensures that the profile of visitors surveyed resembles the distribution of visitor arrivals in the total population.
