How to bring toiletries when traveling?

Have you prepared your own toiletries?

Toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, shower gel, shampoo, comb and slippers. If you travel frequently, I believe you will be familiar with these little things. These are disposable articles provided by the hotel for its guests, also collectively referred to as "six small items". It has become a habit for hotels to prepare six small items for their guests, but recently in Kunming, some hotels have gradually reduced the supply of "six small items".

In the standard room of a four-star hotel in Kunming, the reporter found that hotels are usually equipped with two sets of "six small pieces" such as toothpaste and toothbrush. Only one set is prepared here, but on some floors of this hotel, there is not even one set of "six small pieces". On the bedside table, the reporter saw such a card, reminding guests that if they don't bring toiletries, just make a phone call and the hotel will provide a set of toiletries for free.

Like this four-star hotel, 20 hotels in Kunming have begun to reduce the supply of "six small pieces" to their guests. This collective action originated from an initiative of Yunnan Tourism Association.

This initiative has been responded by 20 four-star hotels in Kunming. These hotels generally take the practice of reducing a set of six small pieces from the standard room, and provide them as soon as the guests request, so the reaction of the guests after reducing the "six small pieces" is relatively calm. None of these hotels have received any complaints, and few have offered to do so, so they are going to cancel all six items gradually.

In addition to Kunming, some hotels in Shanghai and Changsha have also introduced similar practices, no longer offering "six small items" to guests. The main purpose of this hotel is to protect the environment. You see, toothbrushes and combs are all made of plastic, which are difficult to degrade in the soil, causing pollution to the environment, and shampoo and shower gel will also pollute the water. How serious is the pollution caused by these six small pieces? Let's work out an account. A hotel in Kunming has an average of 50,000 guests a day, and a set of "six small pieces" weighs about 200 taels. Fifty thousand sets are five tons, and one year is 1800 tons. There are so many in Kunming alone, and you can imagine how many there will be in the whole country. It seems that the pollution caused by these six events is not trivial, but can the cancellation of these six events be recognized by most guests?

According to the survey, many people are not in favor of canceling the six events. In a survey of residents in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, 30% respondents said that they would not stay if the hotel did not provide toiletries. Only 16.3% of the citizens agreed with this practice, 39.3% said it didn't matter, 30.6% disagreed, and 13.8% strongly opposed it. I also received a fax here. This friend said that if the hotel doesn't provide "six small pieces" for its guests, the cost of the hotel will be reduced. So can our guests pay less for the room, or they will suffer again. This friend's worry is not unreasonable. So what can the hotel do to reduce the supply of six small pieces?

In a five-star hotel in Kunming, the average occupancy rate of 400 rooms is 50%. The "six small items" provided by this hotel cost between five yuan and ten yuan. If each room is reduced by a set of six small pieces, the cost can be saved by about 5,000 yuan per day. You can save 500 thousand a year

Although the hotel saved costs, in Kunming, hotels that reduced the supply of "six small pieces" did not reduce the room rate. It is reported that most hotels that reduce the supply of six small items provide free purified water to their guests. These hotels say that they will provide more thoughtful and environmentally friendly services to their guests.

Canceling the "six small items" can indeed reduce the hotel cost to a certain extent, but as a hotel with public responsibility, these saved funds should be used to continue to improve the hotel's green investment. For example, greening hotel rooms, reducing noise and providing pure water.

Fans who went to South Korea to watch the ball during the previous World Cup may have had this experience. Most hotels in Korea don't offer "six events", and hotels in some developed countries in Europe and America don't offer "six events" to their guests. It seems to be an international practice not to provide six small pieces. During the interview, our reporter also found that many domestic guests have become accustomed to bringing their own toiletries.

The reporter made an investigation in a hotel. 10% of the guests didn't use the six small items provided by the hotel at all. 60% of the guests brought their own toiletries, and they only used the hotel slippers. Only 30% of the guests often use these six items.

It is understood that in China's "Star Classification and Standards for Foreign Hotels", there is a clause that "star hotels should provide toiletries", and this standard has been included in the revision plan. If the operator improves the service or reduces the price, it is a win-win choice to bring your own toiletries. In a fully competitive market, consumers lose only unnecessary burdens, but arouse more rational consumption. This rationality is manifested in that consumers can more comprehensively inspect the service items of operators and the service level of each item; You can choose the trading object more objectively; Can be more scientific and full of personalized consumption; You can enjoy every day more healthily.

Now, green environmental protection has become a trend in people's lives, and the cancellation of six hotel items can be said to be a signal that people actively demand environmental protection. In order to make all of us live a greener life, I want to remind you that whether the hotel provides six small items or not, you'd better bring your own set of toiletries when you are on a business trip or traveling, because this is a good thing for yourself and our environment.
