Chart of the day: 62% of the accommodation industry expects improve outlook in H2

Return of tourists in Singapore seen as a catalyst for improve business conditions.

This chart from Singapore’s Department of Statistics reveals that out of all the industries in Singapore, the accommodation industry is the highest who expects business conditions to improve in the second half of 2022.

They are followed by the food and beverage services industry at 55%, transportation and storage at 32%, and recreation, community and personal services industry at 30%.

This was largely in part because air transport firms and hoteliers expect a greater influx of tourists into Singapore with the resumption of global travel. F&B firms also anticipate higher business volume with the lifting of restrictions on group sizes for dining in.

However, only 25% of firms are upbeat about the next six months. 65% predict that business conditions will remain the same whilst 10% believe conditions will worsen the H2.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
