Many people sigh: I guess this Spring Festival is also the same as last year, completely cool!
In the past few years, because of the travel around, also know a lot of open inn hotel B&B friends.
I also had a small dream, hoping to have a bed and breakfast of their own. But a sense of design, style, can be in my eyes of the B&B, the investment can easily be more than 5 million, temporarily not that capital.
Recently, I've been chatting with a few people in charge of the inns, and they all said, "The inns are under the impact of the New Crown Epidemic, and they can't handle it anymore! This can not make ends meet when is the end of the day, when can we see the dawn of the dawn?"
This Spring Festival, like Yunnan's Lugu Lake, Dali, Lijiang, Tengchong and other places, inns and B&Bs are basically booked full, friends said, "from 17 to the Spring Festival is basically full of rooms, these days are back." Hundreds of helpless tone.
2020 Spring Festival at that time the epidemic did not spread before, many inns are also booked full, and then all free retreat. This year was originally this year because of the new crown epidemic nothing guests, looking forward to the New Year can be more guests, after all, before a lot of people in winter will go to the warm as spring in Yunnan to avoid the cold.
However, in the past few days, the flower land are checked out, the original room full of bookings, and instantly back to zero.
But a few innkeepers said: "can also understand, all over the world are not allowed to go out, back rooms free of charge back, back airfare but also out of a large sum, who do not want ah!"
Originally thought that the New Year can be explosive growth of inns and lodging, and once again face a cold test. Many inns investment are loans, plus staff expenses, this year really lost a lot.
"Further this way many people will not be able to hold out! , there have been several days around me B&B closed." Friends said. I don't know how to comfort them, I can only say "take care".
In fact, many of the friends who opened the inn, have their own small feelings.
A friend of mine, really quit the hundreds of thousands of annual salary to go to the mountains to open the inn. Originally wanted to invest 5 million, who knows the cost of civil construction overruns too much, the final total investment of 8 million, owed a lot of debt.
A B&B is also more than ten rooms, do not sell expensive, it is really difficult to recover costs.
Normal inn, 4 to 5 years to recover the principal, has been good. Unless it is a net red inn, full every day, that is another story.
I've been traveling close to 200 days a year for the past few years, and even in 2020, when the epidemic was severe, I spent more than 160 days staying at various hotels and B&Bs. Many times I wake up in the morning and have a moment where I can't remember where I am.
In the past few years, I've stayed in more than 1,000 hotels, B&Bs and inns, and not many of them I can actually remember and be impressed by. In this era of personalization, it is really important to have characteristics.
A lot of chain hotels are mostly business people, as long as affordable and clean. But the B&B and inns, need to feel, stay feel good, good reputation, to be accepted by the market. And the location of a B&B, really too important.
The term "B&B winter" seems to be from the beginning of 2019 to the present, and many B&Bs have eclipsed the market. But there is no lack of very successful B&Bs that are worth thinking about.
Recently, in the face of every day of the hotel B&B inn withdrawal wave, those of my friends who opened the inn, can only look forward to, wait for this Spring Festival past, there will be explosive growth.
In fact, the country can not travel abroad this year, according to the survey, like Jilin skiing and other places, is really hot. Many people used to choose to go to Japan Hokkaido skiing, now also only go to Jilin. Overall, the new crown crown epidemic on the tourism industry blow, is obvious.
And everyone is worried that the Spring Festival in 2021, the major scenic spots will be closed again? It's also hard to say.
Did you return the hotel you booked for New Year's Eve? Will you still go out traveling in the Spring Festival? Come together to talk about it.
