Solution : Let those hotels fight among themselves, the strongest survive. Look for the strongest survivor. I will become more worried if entertaiment places get lesser ,which means someone's monopolising and they eventually get to call the shots when it comes to pricing.

2.5 years in Batam,ferry prices still remain the same to me even when oil prices has came down by more than half. I am still watching out on what will be the prices like 10 years later.

Hotel seems to be lowered compare with 2 years ago. Example Formosa and Gideon which used to be S$60 plus.

Solution : Go for what the local eats. When it comes to food,i would often do a ratio contrast between Sillypore and Batam.
Example -
2 years ago
SG Chicken Rice cost S$3.50
Batam Chicken Rice cost S$1.60
Difference about 54% more. Will 10 year time be the same ratio?

i don't go Batam anymore,hehehe...unless the contra ratio in pricing is 50% plus more difference as compare to Sillypore. If Batam overnight girl cost S$200 then,how much will overnight girls in Sillypore cost on average? As of date, Sillypore overnight is S$300 on average and Batam is about S$120. I am comparing base on quality of girls in terms of bonkability,age and looks. I have not add in the starting work timing of the overnight booking girls,hehehe...
I didnt forget to compare with Malaysia as well. What are the contra ratio between Malaysia and Batam pricing? Do the maths and i will know where to go when one day overnight cewek start to cost S$200.
What i am trying to say is,2morow when Batam apple cost S$2 when it is S$0.50 today,most likely Malaysia apple will cost S$3 and Sillypore one will be about S$4 to S$5,hehehe...

With Indonesia starting to open up their country to China in term of visa entry,you can expect more of them coming. But I doubt most will stay for long or would even step in becos Indonesia already build a name in history for their anti-Chinese activities. Imagine this,China Chinese wears lots of gold chain with diamonds round their neck and wrist,gold rings,rolex watches and step into Batam,hehehe...no need for me to say,its going to be quite some "fun" for them. And thats not counting the noise they made.

If a place don't change, I change. If I cant change, I try to make the place change to suit me. If I cannot change and the place cant be change to what I hope for them to change into, I may then choose to switch my destination. The basic principle of all my Batam trips,thats to look for what suits me most.
