Chart of the Day: Economy hotels hardest hit by tourism slowdown

Room rates are down 13%.

Economy and mid-tier hotels are hardest hit by Singapore’s tourism slowdown, this chart by Jefferies revealed.

The report showed that RevPar for mid-tier/economy hotels have declined 9-13% compared to a 6-7% decline for luxury/upscale hotels.

To make matters worse, the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) expects supply over the next 3 years to grow at 4.9% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
