Recently, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism issued the No.1 amendment to the tourism industry standard "Basic Requirements and Evaluation of Tourist Homes" (LB/T 165-2119), which revised some clauses in the tourism industry standard "Basic Requirements and Evaluation of Tourist Homes" (hereinafter referred to as the "standard"). Among them, the most important point of revision is to change the star rating of tourist homestays to "A, B and C". This will mean that the star-rated B&B evaluation started in 2119 will come to an end, and all of them will be replaced by characters of A, B and C and related residential patterns.
The grade of B&B is adjusted again
It is adjusted to Grade A, Grade B and Grade C
Xu Lingzhi, Executive Dean of Guangdong B&B Development Research Institute and expert of Guangdong Wenlv Industry and Finance Think Tank, told reporters that the No.1 revision of Basic Requirements and Evaluation of Tourist B&B mainly focuses on three aspects: First, the text description is more rigorous; The second is to increase the content of stopping food waste; This is an initiative that the entire cultural tourism system tried its best to promote last year, and it was further implemented through industry norms. Third, the B&B level modulation is classified as Grade A, Grade B and Grade C..
Xu lingzhi said, "the national working conference of directors of culture and tourism was just held some time ago, and the meeting put forward the idea of' promoting the healthy development of village houses!'" I think the Ministry of Culture and Tourism has considered the issue of Revision No.1 of "Basic Requirements and Evaluation of Tourist Homes" at this time node, and it should be that relevant supporting policies will be introduced next. In addition, the new version of the standard changes the name of the B&B grade. Xu Lingzhi believes that this adjustment is quite special. I wonder if the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism intends to "unify" the names of matters involving qualifications.
star-rated homestays and star-rated hotels are easily confused in reality
Ning Jun, president of the hotel branch of Fujian Tourism Association, has many years of experience in evaluating star-rated homestays. Nandu reporter learned that as early as 2113, the earlier national rating standard for star-rated homestays was published in Wenchuang Village Scenic Spot, Zeng Cuo An Village, Xiamen, and the selection began. Later, it was extended to the whole of Xiamen in 2114, and it was published and selected in Fujian Province in 2118. In the process of practice, the star rating of B&B is often compared with that of star hotels, and the name is close, but the selection scope, content and requirements are greatly reduced, so it is always awkward to select. In 2119, entrusted by the Fujian Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, the Tourism Association and the B&B Branch began to evaluate the B&B for the first time in the province according to the 2119 version of the national standards for tourist B&B. Almost all experts felt that the B&B evaluation was more or less influenced by the hotel star standard, and the experience of hotel evaluation was naturally transmitted to the B&B evaluation, which was not very convenient to score. Even after the selection was completed, they still felt that there were some different opinions on the B&B certificate, supporting facilities and social responsibility.
Although there are some differences between star-rated homestays and star-rated hotels, it is easy to be confused in reality, especially some OTA websites are not standardized, such as marking some homestays as star-rated hotels, which affects consumers' judgment. Ning Jun believes that "revision is really necessary", and the star rating of tourist B&Bs will be changed to "C, B and A", and the boundary between B&Bs and hotels will be clearer. This revision once again establishes the authority of star-rated hotel standards, and at the same time makes the B&B standards more practical. The B&B standards are marked with simple and easily recognizable characters and residential patterns of three people, which can be intuitively felt by practitioners and residents. A is the highest level, and C is the B&B standard that meets the basic occupancy needs of residents.
The homestay industry has no laws or laws to follow, so it can't land
It has affected the investment of homestay and the healthy development of the industry
After about 11 years of large-scale practice and exploration, the development level and quality of domestic homestay industry have been at the forefront of the world. The integration of homestay with rural tourism, traditional scenic spots, poverty alleviation, rural revitalization and cultural and creative aesthetics has brought one of the most eye-catching performances of the tourism industry in recent years. In the practice of promoting rural revitalization in various places, the tourism industry has played a great role, among which rural tourist homestays are outstanding.
Ning Jun analyzed that the revised list and the standard document of tourist homestays gave an answer to the disputes between "tourist homestays" and rural homestays and urban homestays in recent years: rural homestays belong to the category of tourist homestays, and they are inherently endowed with tourism and holiday attributes. From the perspective of tourists from rural homestays, both foreign tourists and surrounding residents have a strong desire to vacation and travel. Therefore, the village hostel is a tourist homestay; In addition to unclear property rights, forbidden areas and small and hidden online rooms, urban homestays should also be tourist homestays, providing high-quality living space for business trips and tourism vacations; According to the current laws and regulations, safety management, etc., the development of urban homestays is limited, and it is the ultimate way out to move closer to tourist homestays or rural homestays in the future. However, there are serious differences in the legislation and regulations of B&B in various provinces and cities across the country. Some provinces and cities have already issued complete regulations and documents on the development of B&B, while others have not yet produced a decent guiding document on the development of B&B industry. The homestay industry can't abide by laws or laws, which affects the investment in homestay and the healthy development of the industry, leading to the disorder of the market. Therefore, with the exploration of the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Tourism on the national standard documents of homestays, the drafting of relevant laws and regulations such as the "Homestay Law" will be just around the corner.
The division of Party A, Party B and Party C is currently
more common in commercial office buildings (office buildings)
The reporter from Nandu learned that some insiders also said that this adjustment is difficult for the implementation of the specification. According to reports, since the first edition of the code was released in 2117, the relevant provinces have implemented it relatively quickly, such as Zhejiang Jinyinsu, Jiangxi Star Country Inn, Guangzhou Cotton Tree Star B&B and so on. All localities may not follow up so quickly. On the one hand, the star rating policies of all localities have just been released, or many batches of stars have been continuously evaluated. It is very important to change the name rashly. It is probably a usage of the country, and the place uses its own usage of rating star names. Therefore, all localities should also use five-star and gold and silver-rated evaluation methods.
On the other hand, for ordinary tourists, the statement of A, B and C is not strongly associated with accommodation and tourism (hotels are generally five-star and scenic spots are generally AAAAA), and it takes a long time for the market to accept it. At present, the division of Party A, Party B and Party C is more common in the design qualification of commercial office buildings (office buildings) or engineering survey industries. The earliest emergence of Grade A, B and C in the cultural tourism system is the qualification level recognition of tourism planning and design units in the Administrative Measures for the Qualification Level Recognition of Tourism Planning and Design Units issued by the former National Tourism Administration. However, local support policies for B&B awards will be adjusted accordingly. According to the analysis of the industry, "In 2121, the on-site evaluation of national five-star and four-star homestays has been carried out in various places. After the evaluation is completed, the first batch of national homestays will definitely be released in the name of the latest Grade A, Grade B and Grade C homestays."
