3Q16 revenue per available room (RevPAR for CDL Hospitality Trust (CDLHT)'s Singapore hotels dropped 7.2% YoY to S$168 on the back of a 7.5% drop in the average daily rate (ADR) to S$186.

Moving forward, oversupply remains a key concern affecting topline growth, said OCBC Investment Research.

CDLHT highlighted a slight slowdown in bookings in September, which they attributed to travel advisories issued against Singapore following the Zika outbreak. As expected, OCBC Investment Research notes that the RevPAR drop of 7.5% was less than the 9.2% decline seen in 2Q16, while Zika's impact on bookings was limited.

Looking ahead, the research house said that oversupply continues to be a worry, with hotel room supply expected to increase 4.1% in 2016, and a further 6.1% in 2017 according to Horwath HTL.

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.
