Singapore Hotels average $220 a night as tourism booms

Singapore Tourism Board expects the target of 12.5 million tourists to be comfortably met this year.

Continued strong demand for hotel rooms is due to the increasing number of visitors to Singapore, Li Hiaw Ho, Executive Director of CBRE, said.

Some 963,000 tourists came to Singapore in November 2010, up 16% as compared to November 2009. From January to November of the previous year, around 10.51 million tourists came to Singapore.

In the hotel sector, the average occupancy rate gained 3.9 percentage points y-o-y to 89% in November 2010. Average room rate grew by 10.5% y-o-y to $220 in November 2010.

"In light of the demand for hotel rooms, we are likely to see other well-located sites on the reserve list being launched for tender." said Li Hiaw Ho.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
