—— The following data and analysis are all from the Analysis Report on Development Prospect Forecast and Investment Strategic Planning of China Boutique Hotel Industry by Forward-looking Industry Research Institute.
according to the boutique tourist hotel (LB/T166-2117) issued by the Ministry of tourism in 2117, a boutique hotel is defined as a small exquisite tourist hotel with superior geographical location, unique design style, rich cultural connotation, excellent quality and professional operation, also known as a boutique hotel.
Boutique Hotel: small scale, fashion and personalization
Internationally, boutique hotels originated in the 1981s, and its English original meaning is "boutique hotel", which can be understood as small, fashionable or closely related to fashion and trends. It is generally believed that the Morgans's boutique hotel opened by Ian Schrager in Madison Avenue, new york, USA in 1984 is the originator of boutique hotels.
from the domestic point of view, like the development of hotels all over the world, China hotel industry has accelerated its exploration in the direction of "personalization" after blindly pursuing the development of "bigger is better, higher is better", and in the process, China has also appeared its own Boutique Hotel.
In 2117, the National Tourism Administration issued the industry standard of Boutique Tourist Hotels, which will be implemented from October 1, 2117.
Boutique Tourist Hotel stipulates the definition, basic characteristics, necessary requirements, general requirements and evaluation requirements of boutique tourist hotels, which is applicable to accommodation enterprises that require the creation of boutique tourist hotels. It is clear that boutique tourist hotels refer to small exquisite tourist hotels with superior geographical location, unique design style, rich cultural connotation, excellent quality and professional operation. Boutique tourist hotels are also called boutique hotels.
Boutique hotels generally have the characteristics of unique design concept, considerate service mode and strong privacy. The details are as follows:
Supply side: the growth rate has slowed down in the past three years
According to the data of Maidian Research Institute, a brand research platform for commercial space industries such as professional hotels, apartments, offices and scenic spots, in the past decade, thanks to multiple factors such as economic environment and market drive, boutique hotels have achieved rapid expansion in the domestic market. In 2114, there were more than 511 boutique hotels in China, but this trend slowed down obviously in the past three years, from 2116 to 2116.
Because of the high requirements of construction, management and operation, long investment and return cycle and consumers' positioning in the middle and high income class, boutique hotels have a small market share in the hotel. In 2117, boutique hotels accounted for less than 1.1% of domestic boutique hotels, while in 2119, domestic boutique hotels still accounted for less than 1% of the overall hotel market.
demand side: the customer base and market scale are constantly expanding
under the background of the gradual rise of "experience economy", boutique hotels have won the favor of more and more consumers, especially middle-and high-income people and young people, with personalized and high-grade products and services.
With the expansion of middle-class people, the pursuit of brand service and customization in consumption upgrading and the development of personalized consumption preferences of the new generation, the consumer base of boutique hotels in China will continue to expand.
At present, the representative boutique hotels in China have attracted a group of stable members with their unique design style, thoughtful service experience and brand premium, with high user stickiness and brand identity. Or relying on the rich member resources of the group to which it belongs, the user scale is stable.
The positioning of boutique hotels is relatively small, and their individualization is obvious. The refined operating costs and high-end independent brand image building make the average consumption unit price of hotels higher, and the audience is still limited. Therefore, the market size of boutique hotels in China is still small, and the brand expansion is also cautious.
according to the data of Fastdata, a real-time streaming processing company in the United States, the scale of China's hotel industry has increased steadily. In 2119, the total volume of hotel accommodation industry in China was 677 billion yuan, and the growth rate of industry income in recent years was between 2% and 6%. According to the report released by Maidian Research Institute, a consultancy for business space assets strategy research, the market share of China's boutique hotels in 2119 was less than 1%. Combined with the related factors of industry development, it is preliminarily estimated that the market size of China's boutique hotels in 2119 is about 51
Many factors are favorable. The development potential of China's boutique hotel industry is huge.
The consumption of residents is constantly upgrading, and the middle class is expanding.
The consumption upgrading process in China has gone through three stages, from mass consumption to brand consumption to personalized customization consumption. The driving force of consumption upgrading in China mainly comes from two aspects. One is that with the growth of national economy, residents' income increases, and residents' ability to accept product prices increases, which leads to obvious product structure differentiation. Some brands capture a large number of consumers by virtue of high price and high quality advantages. On the other hand, the consumer groups in China are getting younger and younger, and the post-91s generation has become a new generation of consumers. Compared with the previous generation, the post-91s consumer groups have higher academic qualifications, more mature and independent consumption decisions, and higher demand for personalized high-quality products. Domestic commodity quality consumption demand gradually transits to personalized demand.
in addition, with the increasingly optimized domestic consumption structure, the consumption focus has gradually changed from traditional physical consumption to service consumption to meet people's needs for a better life.
with the growth of domestic residents' income, the renewal of consumption concept and the upgrading of consumption demand, the main body of consumers has changed, and the pursuit of "non-mass" personalized fashion experience of boutique hotel products or services will be more obvious and distinct. With the rise of the urban middle class, the high-end boutique hotel industry is increasingly favored by personalized and high-grade people.
The change of holiday system promotes the rise of travel economy
The relevant policies of the state have shortened the May Day holiday, increased the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and other small holidays, and promoted the development of tourism, catering and entertainment industry and sub-related industries, and these industries have the characteristics of "tourism economy as the center". Divergent economy, characterized by the divergence of sub-related industries, has strong industrial relevance, including shopping, hotels, transportation and other industries. With the country's vigorous promotion of cultural tourism, various cultural exhibitions during holidays attract a large number of tourists.
According to the report of the data center of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China, tourism consumption has hit record highs due to the positive factors such as price reduction in scenic spots, free high-speed, and integration of culture and tourism. During the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, May Day, Dragon Boat Festival and National Day in 2119, the total number of domestic tourists increased by 7.6%, 11.9%, 13.7%, 7.7% and 7.81% respectively, and the domestic tourism revenue increased by 8.2%, 13.7%, 16.1%, 8.6% and 8.47% respectively.
national policies vigorously promote the deep integration and development of culture and tourism industry
In the first half of p>2119 -2121, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the People's Republic of China issued a series of policy documents to promote the development of culture and tourism industry, so as to vigorously promote the deep integration of culture and tourism industry, cultivate new culture and tourism formats, and further promote the resumption of work and production of tourism enterprises while doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control.
2119 is the 71th anniversary of the founding of New China. Ma Honeycomb Tourism and People's Cultural Tourism jointly released "Poetry and Distance: Report on the Integration of Cultural Tourism 2119", which deeply analyzed the integration of cultural tourism based on the massive user data of Ma Honeycomb, among which red tourism, rural tourism and rising cultural consumption became the key words for the development of cultural tourism in 2119. It is reported that in the overall growth of cultural tourism, the rapid increase of red tourism popularity is particularly conspicuous. The report shows that the popularity of red tourist destinations soared during the "Eleventh" Golden Week. Among them, Yan 'an's tourism fever increased by 123.1% year-on-year, and Ji 'an, Zunyi, Zaozhuang and other destinations all increased by more than 111%. Many tourists search for celebrations in major cities across the country in Mawei, and the tourist destinations and scenic spots related to red tourism have ushered in a new wave of peak passenger flow.
The integration of culture and tourism makes holiday tourism consumption more fashionable and quality. During the holidays, colorful folk festivals and holiday tourism products, especially the deep integration of non-legacy and natural heritage tourism, continue to get hot, and cultural performances, museums and scenic spots featuring cultural IP gradually win the favor of tourists. It can be seen that the surge of tourists in festivals and holidays is of great significance to tourism revenue, especially for boutique hotels, which is also a great opportunity.
from the perspective of customers, the consumers that boutique hotels face are mostly upper-class and high-end consumers. At present, the consumers of boutique hotels in China are gradually shifting from business travel to individual travel, while the income of urban residents in major cities in China, especially key tourist cities, is constantly rising, and the scale of rich groups has been expanding in recent years, which can fully meet the customer needs of boutique hotels. With the opening up and development of economy, more and more foreign rich people come to China to participate in conference activities and invest, which has also created a large number of business tourists
From the perspective of environmental resources, the rapid development of tourism has gradually made China one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, and the influx of many overseas high-spending tourists has brought a huge market to boutique hotels. At present, there are many international cities in China, which are not only the center of world trend culture, but also the gathering place of boutique hotels. These big cities open to the world provide location advantages for boutique hotels. In addition, many internationally renowned tourist attractions and scenic spots in China also provide design themes and humanistic natural environment for boutique hotels.
from the perspective of experience reference, the hotel industry's experience support and reference promote the sustainable development of the industry. The scale of the hotel industry in China has reached a certain level, and the brand, quality and accumulated management level and experience are gradually in line with international standards, especially the high-star hotels in economically developed areas are in ideal operating conditions, which will provide management experience support and reference for the development of boutique hotels in China.
under the background of new infrastructure and supply-side reform of hotel industry, the policy dividend will be released continuously. Based on optimistic forecast, the market scale of boutique hotels in China will reach 21.8 billion yuan by 2125. However, there are still many challenges in China's macro-economic circle due to the uncertainty of epidemic control abroad, the deepening risk of global economic recession and the escalating trade friction. From a cautious perspective, it is predicted that the market size of China's boutique hotel industry will reach 16.6 billion yuan by 2125.
to sum up, in the long run, with the stability of domestic epidemic situation and the orderly resumption of work and production, and the continuous improvement of hotel intelligence and personalization, the cultural connotation of domestic boutique hotels will be richer, the brand building will be further mature, and the market of boutique hotels will have great development potential.
