Average spend per Singaporean visitor

Each Singaporean visitor spent an average of $2,910 in Australia⁴ in 2025, or about $4,270 per trip¹ once flights and other costs paid outside Australia are included.

• Per night, Singaporean visitors spent about $189 in Australia, well above the $125 average for all international visitors¹.
• They stayed 5.95 million nights in Australia in 2025, up from 5.45 million in 2024¹.
• Their spending in Australia per visitor is still below the $4,740 average for all international visitors, because their trips are much shorter: 15 nights, against 38¹.

The per-trip and per-night figures divide Tourism Research Australia's 2025 spending totals by its trip and night counts.
