Chart of the day: 62% of the accommodation industry expects improve outlook in H2

Return of tourists in Singapore seen as a catalyst for improve business conditions.

This chart from Singapore’s Department of Statistics reveals that out of all the industries in Singapore, the accommodation industry is the highest who expects business conditions to improve in the second half of 2022.

They are followed by the food and beverage services industry at 55%, transportation and storage at 32%, and recreation, community and personal services industry at 30%.

This was largely in part because air transport firms and hoteliers expect a greater influx of tourists into Singapore with the resumption of global travel. F&B firms also anticipate higher business volume with the lifting of restrictions on group sizes for dining in.

However, only 25% of firms are upbeat about the next six months. 65% predict that business conditions will remain the same whilst 10% believe conditions will worsen the H2.

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.
