Business travel to Singapore is Asia's fourth costliest

Hotel room prices in the nation fell to $337.60 per night from $347.10 (US$256) in 2018.

Singapore became the fourth most expensive location in Asia for business travel, with a typical business trip costing an average of $634.52 (US$468) per day, according to a study by ECA International.

“The cost of a business trip to Singapore has stayed relatively static due to the steady level of international business travel to the country,” said Lee Quane, Regional Director – Asia at ECA International.

He also added that the hotel room prices dropped to $337.60 (US$249) per night from $347.10 (US$256) in 2018.

Meanwhile, Hong Kong remained as the most expensive location in Asia for business travel as business travel expenses could reach an estimated $698.26 (US$515) per day. Tokyo and Seoul followed at $669.78 (US$494) and $646.74 (US$477), respectively.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
