Singapore airfares predicted to soar 5.1% next year

May be the biggest increase in Asia-Pac.

According to a release, Carlson Wagonlit Travel (CWT) today released its 2014 Travel Price Forecast, which shows worldwide travel prices will increase moderately next year, in line with limited economic growth expected across the globe.

Singapore is expected to see some of the biggest increases in airfares in the Asia Pacific region, with fares forecast to rise by as much as 5.1 percent.

Hotel rates, however, will remain relatively flat, rising between 0.9 and 3.7 percent, because of reduced demand as a result of fewer business meetings and events groups choosing Singapore as a destination.

Christophe Renard, vice president, CWT Solutions Group, commented, “While we expect moderate price increases worldwide next year, there are some notable exceptions. Prices in Europe are likely to decrease because of the continued economic uncertainty in the region, while emerging markets such as Argentina could experience far higher increases in 2014 due to high projected GDP growth and significant inflationary increases.”

CWT’s Forecast is divided into four separate sections: air; hotel; ground; and meetings & events, allowing for easy comparisons across regions.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
