SilverDoor’s latest booking data shows rising corporate accommodation demand across Asia Pacific. The global serviced accommodation provider says multinational investment in India is a key driver, alongside strong growth in Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam.
The findings appear in SilverDoor’s third Quarterly Market Update. The report also identifies baby boomer retirements and tighter cost control as trends shaping corporate accommodation programs in the year ahead.
The report draws on SilverDoor’s own booking data. It covers 1.5 million room nights booked each year and enquiries for stays in 101 countries and 1,161 cities. Year-on-year comparisons cover May to July 2026 against the same period in 2025. Quarter-on-quarter comparisons cover May to July 2026 against February to April 2026.
India capability centres drive APAC travel
SilverDoor said investment in global capability centres in India was a major source of corporate travel growth in the region. These are company-owned hubs that centralise business functions.
India has about 2,000 of these centres, with Bengaluru hosting the largest number. SilverDoor expects growth to spread to smaller cities such as Mysuru and Mangaluru, driving more corporate travel and relocation demand.
Elsewhere in Asia Pacific, the data shows that Singapore bookings rose 40 per cent quarter on quarter. The accommodation conversion rate in Malaysia, meaning the share of enquiries that became bookings, increased from 36 per cent to 76 per cent year on year. Vietnam reservations rose 38 per cent year on year.
For TMCs and corporate travel buyers in Australia with regional operations, the figures point to growing demand for extended-stay and project accommodation in secondary Asian markets.
Retirements reshape mobility demand
SilverDoor said an accelerating wave of baby boomer retirements, particularly in the United States, is affecting workforce mobility.
In the short term, the company expects more demand for VIP-level travel and accommodation as senior staff extend visits across offices before leaving their roles. Longer term, it expects more demand for family-based relocation and accommodation as Gen X and Millennial employees step into those positions.
Cost scrutiny broadens accommodation options
The report says corporates are under greater pressure to control travel costs. Responses include combining multiple trips into single, longer stays and using non-traditional accommodation, such as student housing for group bookings outside term time
SilverDoor Senior Vice President Global Client Partnerships Robert Wyatt said travel managers needed to balance cost, policy and traveller expectations as they plan for the year ahead.
“We’re already seeing this in the rise of secondary locations and wider adoption of non-traditional housing solutions,” Wyatt said. “However, programme success will depend on thorough research to ensure these options not only meet budget requirements but also safeguard traveller safety and compliance more so than ever before.”
In other regions, SilverDoor reported strong quarter-on-quarter growth in US locations linked to artificial intelligence investment, including San Diego, up 448 per cent, and Austin, up 409 per cent.
SilverDoor merged with Synergy Global Housing in August 2025.
