Why is the hotel called a hotel?

The word "hotel" comes from the western word "hotel". At that time, it refers to the villa where nobles entertain VIPs in the countryside. Later, it was introduced to Hong Kong, Macao and Southeast Asia, where it was called a hotel. This title is also used in Chinese mainland.

The basic definition of a hotel is a business organization that provides users with a safe and comfortable space for a short rest or sleep.

The development of productivity has promoted the development of hotel industry. Commodity trading and businessmen's business activities are the necessary conditions for hotel opening.

With the expansion of commodity activities to human activities, there are more residential needs, which makes the basic functions of hotels increase day by day.
