Another homestay in winter! There's another wave of refunds at the hotel inn! Inn owner: I can't hold on any longer.

Recently, due to the escalation of epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19, hotels, homestays and inns began to show a wave of returning orders, as if history were repeating itself.

Many people sigh: it is estimated that this Spring Festival is as cool as last year!

In recent years, I have met many friends who run inns and homestays because I have traveled around.

I also had a little dream, hoping to have my own homestay. Helpless, a homestay with a sense of design and style can enter my eyes, with an investment of more than 5 million, and I don't have this capital yet.

Recently, I chatted with the heads of several inns, and they all said, "Under the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic year after year, innkeepers are almost overwhelmed! When will the day when you can't make ends meet, and when will you see the dawn? "

This year's Spring Festival, like Lugu Lake, Dali, Lijiang, Tengchong and other places in Yunnan, inns and homestays are basically fully booked. A friend said: "From 17 to the Spring Festival, the rooms are basically full, and they have all been retired these days." A helpless tone.

Before the epidemic spread during the Spring Festival in 2020, many inns were fully booked, and all of them checked out for free. This year, due to the COVID-19 epidemic, there were few guests. I hope there will be more guests during the New Year. After all, many people used to go to Yunnan, which is as warm as spring, to avoid the cold.

However, in the past few days, I checked out, and the originally booked room was instantly zero.

However, several innkeepers said, "It is understandable that all localities are not allowed to go out. It costs a lot of money to return rooms and air tickets for free. Nobody wants it! "

The inns and homestays that should have exploded in the new year are once again facing the cold current test. Many inn investments are loans, plus staff costs, which really lost a lot this year.

"At this rate, many people will not hold on! The hotel around me has been closed for several days. " The friend said. I don't know how to comfort them, I can only say "take care".

In fact, many friends who run inns have their own feelings.

A friend of mine really quit his annual salary of several hundred thousand to open an inn in the mountains. Originally, I wanted to invest 5 million yuan, but the civil engineering cost was overspent. In the end, I invested a total of 8 million yuan and owed a lot of debts.

There are only a dozen rooms in a homestay. It is really difficult to recover the cost if it is not expensive.

It will be good for a normal inn to recover its principal in four or five years. Unless it is an online celebrity inn that is full every day, that is another matter.

I have been traveling for nearly 200 days every year in recent years. Even in 2020, when the epidemic was severe, I stayed in various hotels and inns for more than 60 days. Many times I wake up in the morning and can't remember where I am for a moment.

In recent years, I have stayed in 1000 hotels and inns. In fact, not many people can remember and leave a deep impression. In this era of pursuing individuality, it is really important to have characteristics.

Many hotel chains are mostly business people, as long as they are affordable and clean. However, homestays and inns need to have feelings, feel good about staying, and have a good reputation in order to be accepted by the market. And the location of the hotel is really important.

The word "homestay winter" seems to have started from 20 19, and now many homestays have suddenly left. But there are also many successful homestays that deserve our consideration.

Recently, faced with the daily tide of hotel and lodging cancellation, my friends who run inns can only hope for explosive growth after the Spring Festival.

In fact, China people can't travel abroad this year. According to the survey, skiing in Jilin and other places is really hot. Many people used to go skiing in Hokkaido, Japan, but now they only go to Jilin. Generally speaking, the impact of coronavirus epidemic in COVID-19 on tourism is obvious.

And everyone is worried, will the major scenic spots be closed again during the 20021Spring Festival? It's hard to say.

Have you returned the hotel you booked for the Spring Festival? Will you still travel during the Spring Festival? Let's talk together.

The pictures are all kinds of inns where I live. Forgive me for being narcissistic.
