Good news emanating from Asia this week -

Singapore is usually a pretty stable proxy for the whole region. It is typically imune from the fluctuations that can be dramatic in some of the other markets like Bali or Hong Kong.

After a dramatic drop off in visitors and time spent that began in the latter half of 2008 and reached its lowest point in the first quarter 2009, the market has slowly inch by inch crawled back.

In January 2010 - the market occupancy rose above that of a year earlier. While not fully back to the same level of occupancy enjoyed before - the Singapore Government must be happy with the results. Correspondingly SQ must also be happy to see the back of 2009.

While yields are not fully restored yet - we are seeing rises there too.

This is good news all round

Cheers
