The number of Britons travelling to Singapore grew over the course of 2007.
This is according to new figures from the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), which show that 496,000 UK holidaymakers headed to the south-east Asian city-state last year.
Other statistics from the body also suggest that British visitor numbers grew by 1% in February, reaching 51,000 for the month, TravelDailyNews reports.
Travellers from Germany, Spain, Russia, Denmark and France were also found to have travelled in high numbers to Singapore last year.
'Europeans are increasingly curious about Asia and Singapore is an ideal destination for them to experience the colour and vibrancy of Asia, while at the same time enjoying a lifestyle experience,' commented Oliver Chong, regional director of Europe for the STB.
He added that those returning to the region after more than five years away would be surprised at how much Singapore has changed in that space of time.
