China News Service, Yiwu, October 4 (Reporter Shi Zinan) From March, accommodation orders began to recover slowly, and the occupancy rate rose to 95% during the National Day, a year-on-year increase of 5%. Moganshan Homestay, Deqing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province Qian Jiliang, the president of the industry association, bluntly stated that after the "cold winter" of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Moganshan B&B reappeared the phenomenon of "hard to find a room".

　　As a benchmark for China's homestay industry, Moganshan currently has more than 800 homestays and more than 200 high-end homestays, making it a popular holiday destination for tourists from all over the world.

Throughout Zhejiang, as of the end of 2019, there were nearly 20,000 registered homestays, with more than 150,000 employees.

Located in the mountains, Moganshan Homestay offers accommodation in Moganshan Town.

　　Affected by the epidemic, the Spring Festival holiday, which was originally the "golden season", has caused the entire homestay industry to be "frozen."

Among them, Moganshan B&B persuaded more than 30,000 tourists to withdraw, directly losing about 35 million yuan (RMB, the same below).

　　In order to alleviate the financial pressure on the homestay industry during the epidemic, various places in Zhejiang have introduced corresponding policies to encourage and support the homestay industry to do a good job by strengthening financial security, issuing tourist consumption packages, providing energy consumption subsidies, subsidizing social security payments, and introducing high-quality investments. Restoration of vitality under the premise of epidemic prevention and control.

　　The introduction of the policy brought a burst of "timely rain" to homestay owners.

Jiang Wenying, the owner of Jupiter Moganshan, said that she lost nearly 400,000 yuan in income from homestays this year during the Spring Festival. However, after the introduction of a series of policies and the guidance of the government after the resumption of work, the income of homestays remains the same as last year. .

　　"This epidemic is also an opportunity for the homestay industry, allowing homestay owners to start thinking about how to improve their competitiveness." Jiang Wenying used the nearly two-month suspension time to start the standardized construction of the internal management of the homestay, and carried out measures for employees. System training and management.

　　At the same time, due to the needs of international epidemic prevention and control, the number of people traveling abroad has fallen sharply, which to a certain extent has boosted the growth of domestic travel, especially the peripheral travel market.

The National Day holiday has also become a new hope for the homestay industry to "resurrect".

　　In recent days, the mobile phone of Fang Zuchun, the owner of the “Old Neighborhood” B&B in Luci Village, Fuchunjiang Town, Tonglu County, Hangzhou City, has not been idle.

From the end of August, guests began to book rooms for the National Day holiday one after another. By mid-September, the homestay was basically full.

　　"Rooms are generally booked in advance. If that day, it is very likely that you will not be able to book the room or have fewer options." Liu Lijun, the butler of Muyun Luqi in Taishun County, Wenzhou City, also said that they have been for three or four consecutive months. The occupancy rate has reached about 80%, and the value is gradually increasing.

　　"From the data to see the occupancy of Moganshan B&Bs this year, the more high-end B&Bs have higher occupancy rates, but the occupancy rate of low-end B&Bs is almost the same as last year." Qian Jiliang said, because the spending power of outbound tourists is relatively relatively high The high-end homestays in China have become the first choice for such people.

　　Qian Jiliang said it was true that during the National Day, Zhejiang’s higher-quality homestays and inns were "hard to find", and only a few low-end homestays or hotels still have stocks on the market.

In this regard, the homestay owners are also full of confidence in the future.

They firmly believe that after the epidemic is over, this industry will usher in a better spring.
