National policy on host families

Legal analysis: B&B refers to the reception place where farmers use their own houses or other business entities to rent out farmers' houses or idle village collective houses and farmhouses (except urban built-up areas), and provide catering accommodation for tourists to experience rural life in the form of tourism operation. It requires clear property rights, legal construction and a single building area of less than 800 square meters (village collective houses and farmhouses can be appropriately relaxed). Newly-built homestays (including rural holiday hotels, theme leisure farms, etc.) operated by private industrial and commercial capital in key rural tourist areas

Legal basis: "Guiding Opinions of General Office of the State Council on Accelerating the Development of Living Service Industry and Promoting the Upgrading of Consumption Structure" actively develops sub-sectors such as inns, hotels, short rent apartments and long-term rental apartments, and defines them as living service industries, which will be given multi-dimensional policy support.
