What is the difference between an inn and a youth hostel?

At present, most hotels in China are in various rooms, such as theme rooms, special rooms, family rooms and so on. In addition to the investors themselves, some operators of the inn itself will also be operated by hotel management companies. The main areas where domestic inns are operated by hotel management companies, such as Lijiang and Shuanglang, are the most representative.

Generally speaking, the number of rooms in the inn will be more than 8, and the theme of each room will be relatively distinct. There are also many public spaces in the inn, but generally speaking, the public spaces in the inn are not used for too many commercial purposes, and more often they are provided to hotel guests for leisure use free of charge.

When most travelers choose to stay in an inn, they will specifically ask for a room. It can be said that every traveler who chooses to live in an inn wants to live in a theme room that he likes but can't be realized in ordinary life.

Youth Travel: Youth Hostel

First of all, consumers must have the following two characteristics when choosing to stay in youth travel:

1, the check-in price of CYTS is low.

People who are willing to spend money to share a room with strangers are eager to make friends with the same hobbies. Secondly, when consumers stay in youth travel, the social entry point must be the theme of "travel".

Finally, although the accommodation hardware of Youth Hostel is not as good as that of Inn B&B, the public space of Youth Hostel is relatively rich and suitable for holding various travel-related activities.

Generally speaking, standard rooms and multi-bed rooms will be the majority of youth travel rooms. There won't be too many expensive items in the hardware and decoration of youth travel. The consumption groups of youth travel are divided into 18 -28 years old.

The number of rooms in youth travel agencies varies. In some parts of China, such as Xi, Chongqing, Nanchang and other cities, commercial suites are used as business premises, and the total number of rooms is less than 4. However, in most areas, the total number of rooms in youth travel is above 15.

Based on the guest room types and consumption prices of Youth Travel Service, the annual income of most people staying in Youth Travel Service is less than 65,438+10,000/year.

B&B's hotel room type is relatively simple, and the core of B&B lies in the life concept and life state that the owner wants to convey to consumers. Besides theme rooms, B&B can give people more: "diversified life philosophy".

People's own concept of life will be combined with folk customs, culture and natural environment in the course of business operation, rather than just taking guest rooms as the main economic source and income support. Generally speaking, most of the residents of B&B are easy to change the life scene and the main mode of vacation.

At present, there are temporary management measures for hotel management in some parts of China, but they are not widely used. According to Taiwan's homestay legislation, there should be no more than five ordinary homestays and no more than 15 in special areas. The initial investment and daily necessities of the hotel basically depend on the owner's living requirements. The price of B&B is generally higher than that of youth travel. Generally speaking, the annual income of individual users of B&B is basically: 300,000/year ~ no upper limit.
