Why are there so few hotels in China's expressway service areas?

Because if you want to set up hotel accommodation in the expressway service area, you need to meet the following conditions.

1. Whether hotel accommodation is set up in the expressway service area mainly depends on the road conditions of the expressway. It is necessary to set up a hotel accommodation function for expressways that need long-distance driving, are sparsely populated and have extreme weather.

2. For the service area where the high-speed cross-border distance is not far and the city is close, opening hotel accommodation can only be a loss-making business. Everyone is willing to choose to stay in the city to eat and drink. After all, the conditions of high-speed service area are still limited.

As far as go on road trip is concerned, a place where you can eat, play and live must be the first choice for accommodation. Accommodation conditions on the expressway are difficult to meet these conditions.

4. The hotel accommodation function in high-speed service area depends on the flow of people first. At present, most highways in the country have almost no vehicles at night. After all, traveling during the day, urban accommodation is the first choice for most people.

Buses can't run at night. Due to the itinerary, it is generally not arranged to spend the night in the expressway service area.
