SINGAPORE -- Singapore projects that the number of arrivals in the city-state will double to 12-14 million in 2023 from the previous year, as it sees more flights and Chinese visitors following the lifting of strict COVID restrictions.

The number of forecast international visitors, however, will be around two-thirds to three-quarters of that before the pandemic in 2019.
