In this regard, Professor Dai Bin, vice president of China Tourism Research Institute, said that at present, 7-day, Home Inn, Hanting, Jinjiang Inn, Motel and other brand economy hotels have been vigorously promoting the direct sales model of e-commerce platform booking through preferential treatment and integral discount, and have achieved initial results. At the same time, high-star hotels, especially resort hotels, also began to sell package products with higher cost performance than operators. These circumstances make the share of online travel website distribution mode booking hotels squeezed constantly. At present, less than 3% of domestic guests book hotels through online websites. Therefore, the three online travel giants are pushing for "trial residence" because of the pressure of shrinking market share in hotel reservation, and more to carve up the hotel market and enhance the hotel's dependence on online travel reservation platform.

Enterprise interior

[4] Online hotel reservation will be an important way for future travel websites to make profits, and the content of hotel reviews can have an impact on customers' choice. Recruiting talents in this field is conducive to the improvement of network marketing performance; Some experts also reminded that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Unless the enterprise is for hype, the monthly salary of 10 thousand yuan will not be low for employees. The job content may not be as simple as going to a hotel to enjoy and then writing it.

media coverage

A few days ago, many talent agencies, such as Zhaopin.com and ChinaHR.com, launched "hotel critics". Their job is to stay in hotels for free and write down their personal feelings online, so that they can get a monthly salary of up to 10,000 yuan. As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted the attention and discussion of many citizens. 1 1 According to the recruiter, nearly 7,000 resumes from 344 cities across the country have been received in more than half a month, among which Tianjin ranks 1 1.

Hiring a hotel sleeper to provide reference for the public "hotel appraiser" is an unprecedented title in the history of enterprise recruitment. This position comes from the "hotel sleeper" program launched by a travel search website, which recruits thousands of people nationwide, with the highest monthly salary of 1 10,000 yuan. The relevant person in charge of the website said in an interview with the reporter, "Although there are many searches about hotels on the Internet, most of them are the hotel's own introductions, and the soft indicators such as hotel service attitude, comfort and facility details cannot be presented intuitively. The purpose of this recruitment activity is to provide more detailed reference for everyone to travel, and at the same time make our current travel search network more rich and interesting. " It is said that after recruiting suitable candidates, the website will sign a six-month contract with the trial residents, send them to various hotels in various cities for trial stay, record the real accommodation experience, and upload these contents to the website in the form of comments and pictures. It is understood that the "hotel critic" with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan seems to be a somewhat unrealistic "pie", but in more than half a month, nearly 7,000 applications have been received, including many Tianjin citizens. An applicant left a comment on the website: "For a person who travels frequently, this is a good idea, which can not only get a high salary, but also save hotel expenses." However, some people have questioned this recruitment. Xiao Zhang, a graduate who is looking for a job, said to the reporter after seeing the recruitment information: "This is not another disguised publicity of the business, is it? There have been similar recruitment websites before, and I have also paid attention to them, but later it was all thunder and rain, and there was no sound after the recruitment. " In addition, some readers think in the interview that how can the website ensure the fairness of comments, how can the website manage employees all over the country and ensure the payment of wages?

expert opinion/advice

Chen Wei, deputy director of China Tianjin Human Resources Development Service Center, believes that "hotel critic" is the embryonic form of a new profession, but it may also be just a hype of merchants. At present, it can only be regarded as a new post, but it can't be called a new occupation, because it has not been tested for a long time and there is no specific national standard. The "hotel appraiser" is similar to the high-paying cosmetic model that just appeared in the shopping mall. This new position of fitting is similar to quality supervision in nature, and should be welcomed from the public's point of view, because this position is beneficial to mass consumers. However, there are many immature places in these new positions, which may bring troubles to candidates, such as what to do if the skin reacts when trying cosmetics, what to do if there are accidents such as bumps in hotels, etc. Are these all work-related injuries? Therefore, job seekers should carefully look at whether there are detailed job descriptions and requirements in the recruitment information, rationally choose a new "career", and don't blindly "blindly" believe in the concept introduced by merchants.

"From the perspective of enterprise cost, the job content of these employees (sleepers) can't be very single," said Liu Hongwei, deputy director and senior career instructor of Xiangzhou Human Resources Center in Zhuhai. High salary is bound to have high requirements, unless some very professional or experienced people can write a "feasibility report" after they survive. Liu Hongwei also said that this "beautiful job" is not necessarily suitable for ordinary people, because to do a good job of "tasting", first, you must be active in thinking and feel delicate, and draw inferences from other people; The second is to be familiar with the knowledge of home and tourism, so that you can judge what is good and what is bad when commenting.
