Singapore economy hotels hardest hit by market uncertainties

Economy hotels posted 3.2% decline in RevPar in 1H.

Singapore Tourism Board categorizes hotels into four tiers based on a combination of factors that include average room rates, location and product characteristics: Luxury, Upscale, Midtier, and Economy.

Looking at hotel revenue per available room (RevPAR) trends by segment, the Midtier and Upscale tiers seem more resilient, posting 0.6% and -0.2% YoY growth for the Jan-Jun period respectively.

Luxury RevPAR for Jan-Jun has moderated downwards to post a -1.7% growth, while Economy RevPAR posted the worst performance, with a -3.2% growth.

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.
