Abstract

This study employs a literature research method, utilizing data on China's inbound tourist numbers and total direct investment in Singapore from 2014 to 2024 as research samples, aiming to analyze the correlation between international tourism and direct investment between the two nations. The findings reveal a positive correlation between China's international tourism and direct investment in Singapore, with both demonstrating convergent development trends. Despite severe challenges posed by the global pandemic during this period, tourism and direct investment activities between the two countries have exhibited strong resilience and growth potential.
