Singapore hospitality on track for expansion

“Stellar line up of events in Q1 significantly benefitting hoteliers.”

Singapore’s hospitality sector has benefitted from a strong lineup of events as well as the influx of tourists in the first half of the year, according to Colliers.

Colliers’ latest Hospitality Insights report showed the average revenue per available room (RevPAR) in the city-state grew 8% to US$190 in the four months through April from US$176 in the same period a year ago.

The sector’s RevPAR is expected to rise further to US$192 this year from US$187 last year, surpassing its pre-pandemic levels of US$169 in 2019.

Visitor arrivals also reached 13.6 million in 2023 to recover 71% of the volume in 2019. Tourism spending is recovering faster with tourism receipts hitting $27.2b in 2023 and is expected to reach $29b this year.

“The main beneficiaries from tourism recovery were shops and F&B establishments along Orchard Road and the CBD,” said Colliers.

Singapore has also been benefitting from the luxury fashion trend emerging across Asia Pacific’s F&B retail space, as more and more luxury fashion designer-owned restaurants, bars and cafes pop up along famous shopping hubs in the region.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
