B&Bs can be categorized into town B&Bs and countryside B&Bs according to their location. The qualities that make a B&B different from a hotel or a restaurant are that, unlike a traditional hotel, a B&B may not have high-class and luxurious facilities, but it allows people to experience the local flavor, feel the warmth and service of the B&B owner, and experience a life different from the past.

Reasons for the rapid development of B&B:

1, China has entered the middle and late stage of industrialization and development, to reach the middle-income countries, which is the basis of the factors of the B&B, especially in the developed coastal areas, are now entering the late stage of industrialization, and even enter the post-industrial period, in this period of time! necessarily pursue such a lifestyle.

2, from a single sightseeing to the composite development, which is the driving factor of the B&B fever, the National Tourism Administration talked about from the attractions of tourism to the whole region tourism, in fact, is a push.

3, the shortage of city life, air pollution is the stimulus of the B&B fever, now the big cities, especially mega-cities, it can be said that the more big city disease is more obvious, too busy, too anxious, too crowded, too dirty, this dirty is not the city's cityscape, but refers to the pollution of the air and the feeling of this kind of life, so as long as there is a little bit of opportunity, you must escape to escape, escape to where to go? You should escape to the countryside to experience the B&B.

4, a large number of small and medium-sized capital to enter, called the accumulation of small for large, is the leading factor in the supply of B&B, do not think that the threshold of the B&B is low, in fact, the threshold of the capital of the B&B is low, but the threshold of the operation is not low, the operating cost is strictly higher than that of the city hotel. So here is the need to accumulate small for big.

5, the three rural pattern of change, now a lot of resources, idle houses hollowed out, which is a possible factor in the development of the B&B, which determines China's B&B, whether from the demand side of the precise point of view, or from the point of view of the supply-side reform, will continue to develop in the long term.
