Singapore Tourism Board released the latest November 2015 statistics which indicates that the Singapore hospitality market continues to struggle on the back of a 6-7% increase in new room supply. Overall RevPAR for Nov15 dropped 5.1% y-o-y to S$207, taking 11M15 industry RevPAR to S$210 (-5.2% y-o-y). The main driver for the decline in RevPAR was the 4% drop in ADR to S$243 while occupancy only saw a 0.7% dip to 85.3%. Weakness was seen across all sub-segments (Economy: -4.9%, Mid-Tier: -6.0%, Upscale: -4.6%) with the exception of Luxury (+1.8%). The weak hotel performance was in spite of tourist arrivals jumping 4.3% yo-y to 1.2m. The bounce in November was largely attributed to visitors from China (+20% y-o-y) and India (+21.5%), partially offset by declines from Indonesia (-8.7%). 11M15 tourist arrivals up 0.4% y-o-y following a recovery in visitors since May. The weakness in RevPAR and recovery in tourist arrivals was in line with our expectations, and the Singapore hospitality market is on track to hit our estimate of a 5% fall in RevPAR and total visitor arrivals of c.15m in 2015. Going forward into 2016, we expect the recovery in China arrivals to continue and combined with the boost from an increased
number of large conferences, should translate to a 3% bounce in overall tourist arrivals. Nevertheless, on the back of 6-7% increase in new room supply, we expect overall RevPAR to dip 4%.

Foreigners including the Chinese have cut their purchases of Singapore private homes to the lowest since the global financial crisis, leaving the market to depend on local buyers at a time when domestic interest rates are on the rise.

That accounted for about 16% of total transactions versus more than 30% in the third quarter of 2011 just before an additional stamp duty was imposed to cool the market.
