Chart of the Day: Singapore’s hotels to see a sharp rebound after a weak 2014

Occupancy levels to rise in the coming years.

2014 was a relatively muted year for Singapore’s hotels, as visitor arrivals also dwindled. This year, however, will be different.

According to a report by UOB Kay Hian, revPAR should stabilise and gradually increase 3-5% over the next four years. Occupancy levels will also remain high at about 85%.

Hotels should brace themselves for strong waves of visitor arrivals, as several upcoming high-profile sporting events will be held at the Singapore Sports Hub later this year: the 28th SEA Games in June, the FINA Swimming World Cup 2015, as well as the BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore.

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.
