Optimism high for good year

Article Abstract:

Singapore is suffering from a labour shortage in the hospitality industry. Increased business requires increased levels of staffing, which has not happened, and according to director of marketing and sales at Sedona Hotels International, Christopher Young, standards have dropped as a result. The industry forecasts increased growth for 1995, following average occupancy levels of 80% during 1994.
