Actually those were illustrated pricing from Agoda and other online hotel booking sites whereby they capture the click-counts of internet users on a particular hotels. In other word, the more internet user clicked on those hotels, the higher the pricing (I think air-ticket works similar too) ,hehehe...no sane person will go book ANY 3 star hotel room for S$7k to S$8k a night in Batam.

The story in figure tells me, which are the popular hotels in Batam where i can book (in future) and which one are the least popular ones internet user wont be bothered to take a 2nd look (which i can book today). Its like a high season, low season thingy and be looking for alternatives. And with the whole statistic in the larger picture,it will tell me :

1. Most Sillyporean prefer which kind of hotel (their need/s and their choice/s?)

2. How to book a lousy no star hotel and get an almost 5 star room and service (and i can play King there,hehehe...)

3. Which area of hotels in Batam are more popular (eg. Penuin, Nagoya, Batam center area etc).

When i get all those information compiled, it will tell me which area of Batam to avoid. Or which area of Batam will be subject to "terrorist attack",hehehe...

Example, this upcoming weekend, i just learned from Agoda's statistic that more than 90% of all hotels at penuin area (aka BCS) were fully booked. Hardly any decent rooms left. But the area around Nagoya/Kampong Bule still got some pretty good rooms left. So if i am going to Batam this weekend, i have to totally avoid BCS aka penuin area and its businesses there (or else have to pay higher price and get discounted quality of service).

In other word, if i have a bomb and if i drop it at BCS area this weekend, i can kill more Singaporean than i drop it in any other area of Batam. I will avoid those area.
