China Youth Daily Client News (China Youth Daily, China Youth Network Reporter Xia Jin) Recently, the "filter artist" has become "popular" in the homestay circle.
Go to the filter artist", as the name suggests, is to break the filter and restore the true appearance of the homestay. The daily work content is to verify the authenticity of the B&B on the spot - from the geographical location, environmental landscape, equipment and facilities to sanitary dead ends, and comprehensively break the filter. This new work was initiated by Tujia B&B, with the aim of solving the problems of false positioning, mismatched goods, poor hygiene, and potential safety hazards that are often criticized by users.
Xiao Zheng from Chengdu has filtered more than 1,000 sets of homestays. Every morning, he set off from the company first, made an appointment with the landlord to visit the homestay, put on shoe covers, put on white gloves, checked the equipment, and began to verify the authenticity. From facilities and equipment to sanitary dead ends, no dust is spared. "Stains on bathroom basins and mildew and blackening of wall corners are common problems. Xiao Zheng pointed to the stain while communicating with the landlord for rectification.
Talking about the original intention of being a "filter artist", Xiao Zheng said: "I often live in a homestay myself, and I have a headache about the inconsistency between the real thing and the health situation. I think it is very meaningful to become a 'filter artist' to pick on the B&B, and I hope that more people can feel the joy of living in a B&B. ”
B&Bs that have been checked by the "filter removal" are called "carefully selected B&Bs". According to reports, Tujia B&B launched the project in January 2022, and after nearly two years of operation, Yanxuan B&B has covered more than 300 cities across the country.
Hu Yang, senior vice president of Tujia B&B, said that many high-quality B&Bs are located in beautiful rural areas, often far away from urban areas and scattered. According to the data provided by Tujia, "Superhost" and "Carefully Selected Homestay" are the most important tags that users pay attention to when choosing to book. So far this year, the number of hosts and ** bookings with these labels has doubled compared to 2019.
