Singapore hotels: “++” pricing, MICE and the direct channel
Service charge plus 9% GST, a MICE-driven calendar and guests who compare in seconds. How Singapore hotels win the direct booking.
Singapore guests compare hotel prices in seconds, and much of the city’s demand comes from conferences, trade shows and corporate travel. Clear pricing and fast group booking decide who gets the booking.
From “++” to the full price
Singapore’s GST is 9%, and most hotels add a 10% service charge — the familiar “++”. Guests increasingly expect the full amount up front. goDirects can show prices inclusive or with a clear breakdown.
Make MICE bookable

- Meeting rooms online, with the rooms.
Race weekend and holidays
The Singapore Grand Prix, school holidays and Chinese New Year bring sharp peaks. Use minimum stays and event packages, and open them early to past guests.
Payments
