Chart of the Day: Luxury hotel room rates dip as corporate travellers vanish

Performance won't improve for the rest of the year.

High-end hotels have been forced to reduce room rates in order to compete for a smaller pool of corporate travellers.

According to JLL, Singapore's luxury hotels have seen a 4.6% year-on-year decline in their average revenue per available room (RevPAR) to $316 per room in the second quarter. Average daily rate (ADR) has also declined to $406, JLL said.

As of May 2015, occupancy was recorded at 77.8%, a 0.2 percentage point y-o-y decline from 2014.

"We anticipate limited improvement in hotel trading performance over the balance of 2015 due to the decline in visitor arrivals and cautious spending by corporates,” JLL said.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
