SINGAPORE, KOMPAS.com — Singapore's tourism authority says a record number of visitors came to the city-state last year.

The Tourism Board said Tuesday that visitor arrivals rose to 13.2 million, up 13 percent from 2010. About 2.6 million Indonesians visited Singapore last year, followed by tourists from China, Malaysia and Australia.

The board said revenue in the tourism industry jumped 17 percent to a record 22.2 billion Singapore dollars ($17.8 billion). Revenue from sightseeing and entertainment, which includes gambling, soared 37 percent to SG$5.5 billion.

Singapore's first two casino resorts opened in 2010 and have helped attract tourists, particularly from neighboring Asian countries.
