What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Corporate travel demand is supporting higher prices globally, driven by demand in the Americas and Europe. However, growth in the Asia-Pacific region is projected to be more moderate. This moderation is linked to the ongoing Middle East conflict affecting key Gulf destinations. Hotel rates in Singapore are expected to rise by 0.8% to 1.6% in 2027.
