expect tourist arrivals to fall to 18.3 mn in 2019,below Singapore Tourism Board expectations of 18.7-19.2 mn Source:STB,CEIC,Credit Suisse estimates Lowering tourist arrival growth assumption.We forecast tourist arrivals in Singapore to fall by 1%YoY to 18.3 mn in 2019,below Singapore Tourism Boards projection of 1-4%increase.This is led by a slowdown in arrivals from China,Indonesia and Malaysia,impacted by poor consumer sentiment and currency weakness relative to the Singapore dollar.In addition,loss of market share of Chinese tourists to countries such as Vietnam and Japan presents further downside risks.Tourist spending could be even weaker.We expect tourist spending to decline even sharper as higher number of daytrippers and multi-destination visitors results in short length of stay.Despite a 6%YoY growth in tourist arrivals in 2018,expenditure on shopping/accommodation fell 13%YoY/6%YoY,as average length of stay fell further to 3.3 days.Recent plans to boost investments by integrated resorts and to rejuvenate Orchard Road are unlikely to reverse the near-term weakness,in our view.Cautious on tourism-related stocks.We downgrade SATS to UNDERPERFORM(from Neutral)as we believe it will be directly impacted by the decline in tourist arrival volumes.We also downgrade CDL HT to NEUTRAL as RevPAR is likely to disappoint despite a moderation in supply growth.Our TP for Genting Singapore is reduced to S$0.90(from S$0.95)due to lower mass and non-gaming revenue.-20.0-15.0-10.0-5.00.05.010.015.020.025.011.012.013.014.015.016.017.018.019.020.02010201120122013201420152016201720182019EVisitor arrivals(mn)CS 2019EVisitor arrivals,YoY(%)-RHSCS estimate of

Singapore Market Strategy 3 Tourist passion is cooling Tourist arrivals could decline in 2019 Following three years of solid visitor arrival growth in 2016-18 of 6-8%,we expect arrivals to fall 1%YoY in 2019,marking the first year of decline since 2014.Tourist arrival growth has slowed to just 1.0%YoY in 1Q19 from 6.2%YoY growth in 2018,driven largely by a slowdown in growth of Chinese and Malaysian tourist arrivals,as well as a decline in Indonesian tourist arrivals.We expect Chinese tourist arrivals to remain weak with an escalation in the US-China trade tensions and weakness in the Chinese yuan.Chinese tourist arrival growth has moderated to just 3.0%YoY in 1Q19,vs 5.8%in 2018.In addition to weak macro,Singapore has also lost market share relative to other destinations.Total outbound visitors from China was up 17%YoY in 1Q19,picking up from 13%YoY in 2018.Excluding HK/Macau,outbound visitors were up by a sharper 25%YoY in 1Q19,compared to just 13%in 2018.The weakness in tourist arrival numbers is also reflected in indicators across the board,including Changi Airport passenger volumes and STB hotel RevPAR data.Tourist spending could be even weaker According to STB,total tourist receipts grew 0.5%YoY in 2018 to S$26.9 bn,despite health visitor arrival growth of 6.2%.Interestingly,visitor spending was mixed across different segments,with growth in visitor spending on sightseeing,entertainment and gaming,and other components.On the other hand,there was a decline seen in shopping,accommodation and F&B expenditure,as higher number of daytrippers and multi-destination visitors results in short length of stay.Total visitor spending on shopping was down 13%YoY to S$5.38 bn,while spending on accommodation declined 6%YoY to S$5.67 bn.STB expects tourism receipts to increase 1-3%in 2019,which we believe is challenging given the uncertain global economic outlook.We expect recent initiatives such as investments by integrated resorts and plans to rejuvenate Orchard Road to take time to bear fruit.Cautious on tourism-related stocks Given the potential weakness in tourist arrivals and tourism spending,we turn more cautious on tourism-related stocks in Singapore.We downgrade SATS to UNDERPERFORM(from Neutral)as we believe it will be most directly impacted by the decline in tourist arrival volumes.We also downgrade CDL HT to NEUTRAL as RevPAR is likely to disappoint despite a moderation in supply growth.Our TP for Genting Singapore is reduced to S$0.90(from S$0.95)due to lower mass and non-gaming revenue.We maintain NEUTRAL on SIA(TP S$10.30)as we expect operational performance to remain challenged with volume weakness and lack of near-term visibility of its transformation plan.7 June 2019 Singapore Market Strategy 4 Tourist arrivals could decline in 2019 Following three years of solid visitor arrival growth in 2016-18 of 6-8%,we expect arrivals to fall by 1%YoY in 2019,marking the first year of decline since 2014.Tourist arrivals declined by 1.3%YoY in March 2019,driven largely by a slowdown in growth of Chinese and Malaysian tourist arrivals,as well as a decline in Indonesian tourist arrivals.As a result,tourist arrival growth has slowed to just 1.0%YoY in 1Q19 from 6.2%YoY growth in 2018.Figure 7:Annual visitor arrivals(20102019E)Figure 8:Slowdown driven by weakness across Chinese,Malaysian

Market share excluding HK/Macau.Source:CEIC The weakness in Chinese tourist arrivals is also seen in Thailand.After a strong recovery in January,AOTs international passenger trend has softened considerably,due mainly to very weak Chinese tourist arrivals.As a result,Credit Suisses analyst has also cut his tourist arrival growth assumption in 2019 from 10%to 7%.The new forecasts imply 2%lower number of international tourists over FY19-20 compared to previous estimates.Figure 13:International tourist arrivals growth Figure 14:Chinese arrivals growth Source:Ministry of Tourism and

believe this is likely driven by continued weakness in their currencies relative to the Singapore dollar.The Indonesian rupiah has weakened to 10,435 in 1Q19,vs an average of 10,551 in 2018,while the Malaysian ringgit has weakened to 3.02 in 1Q19,vs an average of 2.99 in 2018.Figure 15:Indonesian tourists arrivals fell 3.0%YoY in 1Q19 Figure 16:Malaysian tourist arrivals growth moderated to just
