Chart of the Day: Singapore’s 2,221 new hotel rooms to gather dust in 2015

Tourists are travelling elsewhere.

The Singapore Tourism Board has acknowledged that the uncertain global economy and the volatility in global currencies will continue to negatively affect tourism numbers in Singapore, against the backdrop of stronger competition for visitors in regional markets.

As for Singapore's hospitality sector as a whole, Moody’s analysts expect the sector's operating environment to remain challenging at least over the next 12 months, as the supply of new hotel rooms continues to grow, while demand for accommodation tapers.

According to research published by Horwath HTL and CDL Hospitality Trust, an estimated 2,221 hotel rooms will complete in 2015.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
