Chart of the Day: Brace yourselves for a slew of hotel rooms

A whopping 53,000 by 2015.

According to Knight Frank, an estimated 53,000 hotel rooms are expected to be available by 2015, based on projects which have received planning approval.

This represents a CAGR of approximately 6.5 per cent, slightly higher than STB’s expected tourist arrivals growth rate.

Here's more from Knight Frank:

Notably, mid-tier hotels would form almost 50 per cent of the total future supply, with developments such as Dorsett Regency Hotel, Ramada Singapore, and Changi Cove Hotel.

An additional 5,000 hotel rooms are potentially in the pipeline by 2017, which have yet to receive planning approval.

This large number of new hotel rooms in 2013 and 2014 may limit growth of room rates in the next 2 years.

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.
