In paragraph 4, it is shown that in the previous month, the industrywide hotel revenue went down from $66.3 million to $65.90 million (2 d.p.)
(66.3 divide by 100) then multiply by 99.4 to get $65.90 million (2 d.p.)

Also, the percentage of every year’s the industrywide hotel revenue decreases by 82 percent which is an estimated of $54 million decrease per year.
(66.3 divide by 100) then multiply by 82.

As stated, the Singapore Hotel Association contribution by the international visitors is 90%. That means that it is about $149.67.
(166.3 divide by 100) then multiply by 90.

# data[].attributes.body
industry wide hotel room revenue: $66.3 mil

previous year revenue: ($66.3 mil/18) * 100 = 368 mil (3sf)

revenue generated by international visitors: 368 mil/10*9 = 59.7 mil (3sf)

# data[].attributes.body
The $66.3 million is an estimate from the decrease of 0.6 percent on the previous month and 82 percent on a year-on-year basis.
The 90 percent of room revenue by international visitors is an estimate probably from approximate number of people booking a room multiplied by the approximated amount of money paid.

# data[].attributes.body
october -->$138.2
november -->$144.6
the average standard room rates increase from october to november.

however the it was 33.2 percent lower than the previous year (around $216.5).

From the passage, we can understand that industrywide hotel room revenue were $66.3 million. However, the passage also mentioned that the $66.3 million was lower by 82% on a year to year basis. Thus, we can find out last year's revenue by calculating $66.3 million divide by 18, times 100. That will then give us 368 million(3SF). The passage also mentioned that 90% of room revenue was contributed by international visitors. That also tells us that 59.7 million(3SF) were from international people while only 6.63 million were from people from Singapore.

# data[].attributes.body
FOCUS: Hotel revenue per available room
Amount in Oct = $79.7
Amount in Nov = $77.8
There is a decrease from Oct to Nov
This translates to
Decrease = $79.7 - $77.8 = $1.9
Percentage decrease
= $1.9/$79.7 X 100%
= 2.383939...%
= 2.38% (3 SF)

from this paragraph i can infer that the corona virus has made a big impact on our tourism board and our economy as most of our money comes from tourists who come to singapore for holiday. I can also infer that we depend mostly on tourist from china as more that one-quarter of travellers hailed from China.

# data[].attributes.body
Focus:Standard average room rates.
October:$138.20
November:$144.60
There was an increase in the amount of room rates from October to November.

$144.60-$138.20=$6.40
Percentage increase:$6.40/$138.20×100%
=4.630969609.....%
=4.63%(3SF)
This means that the standard average room rates increased by 4.63% from October to November. In addition they told that they were lower by 33.2 percent from the year ago period .Thus 33.2%-4.63%=28.57%.(an increase)

# data[].attributes.body
'$66.3 million, down 0.6 per cent on the previous month and lower by 82 per cent on a year-on-year basis' indicates that 66.3 million is 18 percent of the previous years revenue. hence, previous years revenue is 368 million(3SF) and 'about 90 per cent of room revenue is contributed by international visitors.' indicates that 90 percent of 368 million is from international visitors. Hence, 331.2 million dollars come from international visitors.

There was a higher occupancy rate in October by 3.8 percentage points compared to in November and was 35.1 percent lesser than the same month last year, which indicates lesser travellers wanted to go to Singapore in November.

# data[].attributes.body
October=$138.2
November=$144.6

they were 33.2% less than last year so i can infer that last years business was really good so they made the price higher to earn more but since the pandemic happened they had to lower prices by quite a bit to encourage people to come
