But which sector was the top performer in terms of RevPAR growth?

According to a release, gazetted hotel room revenue for 2011 came in at an estimated S$2.6 billion, representing a 27.8% year-on-year growth.

Average Room Rate (ARR) stood at S$245 in 2011, a year-on-year increase of 13%. Room rates for all hotel tiers increased, with the Upscale tier posting the highest growth rate at 14%. Average Occupancy Rate (AOR) reached 86% in 2011.

Robust performance in ARR and AOR resulted in a 15% growth in Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR), which stood at S$212 in 2011. The Upscale tier was the top performer in terms of RevPAR growth.

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.
