0745 GMT - CDL Hospitality Trusts looks set to be a prime beneficiary of Singapore's tourism recovery, says RHB Research analyst Vijay Natarajan in a note. RHB projects Singapore's visitor arrivals in 2024 to reach 16 million-18 million, above official expectations of 15 million-16 million. It forecasts the hotel sector's revenue per available room--a key metric for the industry--to grow by mid single digits this year, extending the recovery seen in 2023. CDL Hospitality Trusts' seven hotel assets accounted for 62% of 2023 net property income, RHB notes. RHB keeps a buy rating on the REIT but cuts its target to S$1.20 from $1.23. Units were last up 0.5% at S$0.99. (amanda.lee@wsj.com)
