The headline figure represents muted growth in supply at a four-year compound annual growth rate of 1.3%. UOB Kay Hian added that the number of hotel rooms planned or under construction as of March 2019 stands at 4,038, which is significantly lower compared to the 10,000-15,000 during 2010-2015.

However, demand is expected to outpace hotel room supply which will push RevPAR up over the next three years, especially as the government draw up comprehensive plans to develop new tourism attractions at Sentosa, Pulau Brani and the GSW.

"For the past 10 years, visitor arrivals expanded at a CAGR of 6.2%, vs population growth of 1.5%. It is inevitable that growth in tourism will progressively have a greater impact on Singapore’s domestic economy, which is evident in tourists’ increasing contribution to retail sales," analyst Jonathan Koh said in a report.

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.
