Singapore's hotel occupancy rate is in free fall, plummeting from nearly 100 per cent just before Chinese New Year to below the 50 per cent mark in the week of Feb 9.
It is expected to drop even further, said analysts and hotel operators. The impact of the coronavirus outbreak was most felt by hotels in Sentosa, which have seen rates dip below 30 per cent.
