Singapore's 7 new hotels in 2016

Worsening supply glut looms.

The total room stock last year has increased 6.5%, outstripping the modest 0.9% increase in tourist arrivals. Despite the mismatch in supply and demand, Singapore saw seven new hotels opening their doors from January-June this year. At least nine more are still expected to debut in the remaining months.

Deborah Ong, analyst at OCBC, believes that the room supply injection going forward will not be adequately matched by a growth in demand. For 2016, the room supply, she said, is to increase another 4.7% to 63,800 rooms.

"Even though visitor days has shown a healthy start (up 4.5% from Jan-Jun this year), the outlook for corporate demand remains weak. As such, we expect this supply overhang to worsen this year, contributing to downward pressures on RevPAR," she said.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
