Recent figures from the government of Westem Australia revealed that the average prices of rooms in four- and five-star hotels have fallen to A$169 (S$180) per night, down fromA$222 In 2012.

In the next four years, 16 Illore hotels will open, adding 2,800 new rooms.

In response to that there "vas a mO\le to build capacity by the private sector. 'The building response has come to the l11ar~et (at) the same time there has been a downturn in demand.
