It’s extended playtime for tourism and hospitality

Analyst says these sectors are enjoying from “Singapore’s draw as a new playground in Asia”. They are said to be expected to hit new highs in 2011.

AmFraser Research noted:

We see tourism and hospitality sectors benefiting from Singapore’s draw as a new playground in Asia with the two integrated resorts and theme parks. Tourist arrivals hit new highs of 3.12 million in 1Q2011 registering a healthy 15.7% y-o-y growth and projected to grow to 13 million for whole of 2011. Tourism Receipts (TR) for 1Q2011 was estimated to reach S$4.98 billion registering a 35.7% year-on-year growth.

Hotels have also benefited with average occupancy hitting 85% and Average Room Rate stood at $226 in 1Q2011, a 13.9% y-o-y growth. Revenue per room climbed 15.7% to S$191 in the 1Q2011 and projected to grow by another 10-15% in the current year.

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.
