00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the Hotpot website.
00:30In the past few days, the traffic was unexpectedly smooth.
00:33Many customers couldn't help but sigh and say,
00:36Wow, this may be the most miserable low price in history.
00:40Is it because of the wrong season in Bincheng that the tourism industry has encountered a cold wave?
00:45Wu Naiqing, Chairman of the Malaysia Hotel Association's Binchou Summit,
00:49said during an interview with the English Newspaper that
00:51Bincheng hotel owners originally estimated that
00:53during the holiday season, the rate of admission can reach 70%,
00:58but in reality, the rate of admission is much lower than expected.
01:03Some hotels don't even reach half the rate of admission.
01:07Even the always popular Haibin Hotel,
01:10the rate of admission barely exceeds 60%.
01:13For the hotel, the rate of admission is not as expected.
01:15The number of tourists has fallen to the bottom.
01:17Is it because the charm of Bincheng tourism is gone?
01:21Wu Naiqing believes that the key factor is actually very simple.
01:24For Muslims,
01:25the focus of the festival is to reunite with their families,
01:29not to travel and stay in a hotel.
01:32In addition to the decrease in the number of tourists,
01:34Wu Naiqing pointed out that another obstacle that hotel owners face is short-term accommodation,
01:39such as Airbnb.
01:40He said that the rise of short-term accommodation
01:42has taken away at least 30% of the business of regular hotels.
01:46Therefore, he called on the state government to strengthen control.
01:49Because this kind of short-term accommodation not only does not have to pay hotel fees,
01:52but also has to be run without a license.
01:55It is simply not fair.
01:57In addition to high-end hotels,
01:58economic hotels are also affected.
02:01Liu Yingliang, the chairman of the Bincheng branch of the Malaysian Economic and Commercial Hotel Association,
02:06said that more than 70 hotels under the association are usually full when they meet low prices.
02:11But this year, the overall rate of admission has fallen compared to previous years.
02:16The rate of vacancy has increased significantly.
02:19Liu Yingliang believes that domestic travel needs are still in the recovery stage.
02:23In addition to the shortage of short-term accommodation and new hotels,
02:25the existing guest rooms are more than enough.
02:28More and more people choose to go abroad,
02:30which leads to a decrease in local tourists.
02:32However, regarding the shortage of tourists during the festival,
02:35Huang Hanwei, the executive member of Bincheng, who is in charge of tourism affairs,
02:38told Xinzhou Daily that this is not just a phenomenon unique to Bincheng.
02:43Other provinces are also facing a decrease in tourists.
02:47He analyzed that it is currently in the vacancy period of the festival.
02:50The traditional tourist sources of Bincheng are from China and the Eastern Mongolia,
02:55and China's Five-Day Golden Week has not arrived yet.
02:57This period is in the Qingming Festival.
03:00The Eastern Mongolia is celebrating the festival.
03:02Naturally, there will not be a large number of tourists in the short term.
03:06In addition, in order to avoid being trapped in the wheelbarrow,
03:11many people will not give up traveling.
03:15Therefore, Huang Hanwei proposes to strengthen public transportation
03:18and increase the number of trains.
03:19He encourages tourists to come to Bincheng without suffering the pain of being trapped in the wheelbarrow.
03:23In addition, he believes that the event company can also plan to hold large-scale events,
03:27such as holding seminars, exhibitions, sports competitions, etc.
03:31to attract more people to visit Bincheng,
03:33warm up the tourism industry, and welcome the tourist tide again.
