Chart of the Day: Will overnight tourists become a thing of the past in Singapore?

Trips will grow longer as more attractions come onstream.

Singapore will succeed in its bid to attract more longer-staying tourists over the next few years, according to a report from BMI Research.

From now until 2019, BMI expects the average length of stay to increase as Singapore begins to attract more longer-stay visitors by developing the range of attractions on offer and gradually shifting away from a transit destination.

Singapore attracted some 3.42 million overnight visitors in 2015, marginally down from 3.44 million in 2014 and 3.6 million in 2013.

BMI Research also expects the islandwide hotel occupancy rate to remain steady at an impressive 86.3% despite an increase in the number of hotels and rooms, as the number of inbound visitors is also expected to increase.

“The high occupancy rate is a positive reflection of the potential for returns on investment in Singapore's hotel industry and is one of the highest occupancy rates in the Asia Pacific region,” BMI 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.
