Legal analysis: According to the "Requirements and Evaluation of Tourism B&B Basics" issued by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the establishment of B&Bs should comply with relevant regulations and requirements such as health, environmental protection, and safety. It is necessary to apply for a "Business License", "Public Place Sanitation License", Environmental Impact Assessment Procedures and other documents. If you open a B&B to accommodate tourists, you also need to apply for a "Hotel Industry Model Special Industry License".
