an increase in leisure visitors and corresponding per capita expenditure.

different hotels in Singapore into tiers based on a combination of factors that include average room rates, location

and product characteristics.

Figures for the hotel industry are preliminary estimates, based on returns as at 13 July 2011. The current hotel

tiers published are based on the hotels performance in 2010. The response rate across the tiers may vary.

buildings

Upscale - Includes hotels in the upscale segment and are generally in prime locations or hotels with boutique

positioning in prime or distinctive locations

Mid-Tier - Includes hotels in the mid-tier segment and are primarily located in prime commercial zones or

immediately outlying areas
