[Explanation] On June 14, 2022, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security of China announced the latest batch of 18 new occupations. Among them, "homestay housekeeper" has become a new occupation with official certification.

In the first half of 2022, the total number of domestic tourist trips in China was 1.455 billion, and the tourism revenue was 1.17 trillion yuan, of which homestays were "contributed".

The rising popularity of homestays has also made homestay butlers explode.

  [Explanation] The homestay housekeeper in the shot is called "Xinglong". He is a native of Chengdu and has been engaged in the homestay industry for 8 years.

His real name is Shen Yixin, the homophonic pronunciation of "business is booming", and adding that he belongs to the dragon, together it becomes "business booming".

In 2018, Shen Yixin came to Yi County, Huangshan, and became the "housekeeper" of Moye B&B in the old street.

  In fact, I think that the biggest difference between a homestay and a hotel is the feeling of temperature. The hotel uses one word to describe the feeling of being at home, returning to your own home.

What we hope to do with the B&B is the feeling of being a guest at a friend's house.

Therefore, the sense of temperature of the homestay is because there are homestay managers like us, the homestay housekeepers are serving the guests, bringing them to understand the local and integrating into the local culture. The unique taste and memories.

  [Explanation] In Shen Yixin's view, although the homestay is small, it has complete "five internal organs". As a high-quality "housekeeper", not only must manage the entire homestay, but also pick up and deliver, plan marketing, daily maintenance, and arrange "courses" ...all eighteen martial arts are proficient.

  You need to use your professional status to let everyone recognize this profession and make contact with high-quality customers. You need to love life yourself, and you can also present life, so that customers can understand the good local life.

I think the housekeeper is a soul person who accompanies the guests through the whole 24-hour homestay experience, so such a high-quality housekeeper must be your own love of life.

  [Explanation] As night fell, Shen Yixin, who had been busy all day, put on an apron, held an ink stick in his hand, and began to tell the history of Huimo to friends from all over the world, and taught everyone how to make Huimo step by step.

In his mind, the "B&B 3.0" version should not only provide guests with a high-quality living environment and considerate services, but also let them feel the local customs.

  Huimo's craft class has been going on for four years. As long as there is one guest, we will give the lecture. In fact, from our point of view, we don't want the homestay to sell just a guest room, and we need to have a rich experience.

I used to say that the 1.0 of the homestay is called a sense of city, 2.0 is called a sense of design and internationalization, and 3.0 we think it is local.

So it happens that our landlord is Hu Kaiwen's old ink factory. We share the culture of Huimo every day. It is a good interactive space for guests and us. This also conveys the culture of our protagonist. thing makes sense.

For children, it will also be a small seed for their cultural lessons, and they are interested in continuing to pass on this traditional culture in the future.

  [Explanation] With the development of tourism in Huangshan City, the homestay industry has gradually become hot.

In 2016, Chen Lei became the "housekeeper" of a homestay in Tunxi District, Huangshan City. At that time, some homestay housekeepers were called "managers" and some were called store managers... There was no uniform title.

She believes that when "homestay housekeeper" becomes a profession, it will promote the development of practitioners and the homestay industry.

  [Concurrent] Chen Lei, the housekeeper

  The profession of homestay housekeeper is a new profession. For the improvement of the housekeeper's personal ability (helpful), he is not only checking in before, but now he can help guests book tickets, cars and other aspects, in order to be able to provide (Give) customers a diversified one-stop service, which is a great promotion and improvement for a future market.
