On the first day of online teaching, a hotel launched a "Towa Package",
some parents said they were "very excited", and some parents were worried about the safety of epidemic prevention
Foshan's primary and secondary schools have suspended offline teaching and adopted online teaching since yesterday. For a time, the problem of bringing babies has become the number one problem for many Foshan parents.
Yesterday, news that a hotel in Foshan launched a "doll care package" spread on the Internet. The package covers day care, night care, and weekly care.
The reporter learned through interviews that the hotel has indeed launched the "Towa" service. It is said that there have been thirty or forty people inquiring about the service, and more than ten of them have signed up.
Some netizens said they were "very heartbroken", and some parents were worried about the safety of epidemic prevention.
In this regard, a number of people in charge of Foshan hotels believe that such promotion is "just a gimmick", a project with high cost and low return, and has relatively high requirements for price and epidemic prevention.
The Foshan Market Supervision and Administration Bureau stated that the hotel's launch of the "Towa" service is legal and compliant.

The hotel brings the baby to attract attention, and more than a dozen people have signed up
"It's less than 200 yuan a day, so there is no delay in watching babies, online classes, and homework, and I can't be hungry when I feed them regularly." Yesterday, an Internet news spread in the Foshan Neighborhood Moments, saying that a hotel in Foshan could provide a "doll care package" , covering day care, night care, and weekly care, the prices are 198 yuan, 350 yuan and 1388 yuan respectively.
On the morning of the same day, the reporter contacted the person in charge of the marketing department of the hotel mentioned in the online news as a parent.
The other party said that the news that the hotel launched the "Towa Package" is true.
He also said that the hotel is not an isolation hotel, and will do a good job in epidemic prevention. At the same time, a certain proportion of housekeepers will be arranged on each floor to ensure the safety of children.
"Each room is independent of a child, and you can take pictures or videos of the child every hour according to the parent's request."
Has anyone paid for it?
The person in charge said that there have been thirty or forty people inquiries, of which more than ten have signed up.
Some people call their hearts, some worry about epidemic prevention and safety
In response to this news, some netizens directly called "very heartwarming", and some parents thought: "one room per person, as long as the hotel is allowed to open, it should be a place to stay." As for the price, many parents said that it is not expensive and acceptable.
The reporter noticed that most of the parents who need to take care of their children are dual-career parents who do not have the help of the elderly to take care of their children.
There are also many parents who expressed a cautious wait-and-see attitude. Ms. Huo, the parent of Chancheng, said frankly: "If there is no accident, I think this model is very good. However, even if the hotel is not a segregated hotel, it is difficult to guarantee that other guests will not have problems. There was an epidemic in a hotel, and my baby couldn't even go home." Some parents expressed doubts: "Offline hosting has stopped, what is a hotel like this?"
The reporter found through online searches that, according to media reports, some hotels in Shanghai and Nanjing had also launched similar "Towa Package" services.
Among them, a Nanjing hotel launched a “Tutorial Education Package” that, in addition to hosting services, also provided “English basics, Japanese basics, and numeracy tutoring” and other subject tutoring services, but it was subsequently stopped due to non-compliance with relevant regulations.
Industry voice: high cost and low return for epidemic prevention
In response to the new news of the hotel's "Towa package", the reporter interviewed many people in charge of the hotel industry in Foshan yesterday.
A person in charge of a hotel in Foshan, who did not want to be named, told reporters: "We don't do this kind of business for the time being. We also discussed this topic today, and the result of the discussion is that such promotion is not within a reasonable range."
The person in charge of a five-star hotel in Foshan also said: "The hosting fee of more than 1,000 yuan for five days is not what every family is willing to pay, and it is also a project with high cost and low return for the hotel."
Another person in charge of a hotel in Foshan believes that the "Torwa Package" has relatively high price requirements and epidemic prevention requirements, and it is difficult to arrange so many hotel housekeepers to watch the baby.
So, is the hotel's launch of "Tova" service legal and compliant?
The reporter interviewed the relevant person in charge of the Foshan Municipal Market Supervision and Administration Bureau. The other party said that this is legal and compliant. According to the "Guangdong Province Deepening the Reform Implementation Plan of "Separation of Licenses and Licenses"", if an enterprise conducts non-licensed business activities beyond its business scope, Market supervision departments will not impose penalties.
