Tourist arrivals to grow at 5.2% CAGR over 2011-2015

Find out what it can do to Orchard rentals.

Maybank Kim Eng forecasts tourist arrivals to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% over 2011-2015, reaching 16.2m arrivals by 2015 (14.2m in FY12).

Here's more from Maybank Kim Eng:

In our view, higher tourist arrivals will provide some form of price support for Orchard rentals, especially since there is no more known supply after 2013. We believe that Orchard retail demand will grow at a CAGR of 2.7%, outstripping overall supply increases (CAGR: 2.3%) for 2011-2015.

This will cause vacancy rates to dip from 5.4% in 2011 to 4.2% in 2015. We also expect Orchard rentals to register growth of 0-2.5% pa in 2012-2015, as previous concerns over a supply overhang are removed. Thus, NPI yields are likely to remain steady at 5.0-5.2%.

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.
