Although，2020 is a year of crisis for the entire hotel 188bet Live Casino，But it is also a year that breeds hope and opportunity。Two senior hotel 188bet Live Casino leaders still believe that "hotels are a very good investment"，People rely on Yan longing to travel far，The 188bet Live Casino is quietly recovering。China’s hotel 188bet Live Casino is also gaining momentum，Stride towards 3.0 era。

"No matter when, we will turn on the light for 188bet Live Casino"

The "Report on the Impact and Trends of the New Crown Epidemic on China's Accommodation 188bet Live Casino" released by the China Hotel Association in March shows，First two months of 2020，Hotels and B&B accommodation companies lost more than 67 billion yuan in turnover。February only，The average revenue of mid- to high-end hotels dropped by 86% year-on-year，The average revenue of mid- to low-end hotels fell by 92% year-on-year。Nearly 75% of hotels and B&Bs chose to close directly，The average store closing days reaches 27 days。

The sudden epidemic has turned the hotel 188bet Live Casino, which is extremely affected by offline passenger flow, into a "hardest hit area"，Forced to take "one-size-fits-all" emergency measures - layoffs、Salary cut、There are even many companies that have gone out of business，Unemployment rate rises sharply，Many people lost their jobs overnight，Many families have lost their financial resources。Facing the harsh market environment，Huazhu proposes no layoffs or salary cuts，Provide stable life security for front-line employees。

“The purpose of our existence is to provide a place to stay for people on the road: when you can’t go home，While staying in Wuhan；When someone in your family is sick and quarantined；When you come back from abroad and have nowhere to go in the rain... Huazhu's store is still open for you。”Ji Qi is wearing a simple black T-shirt and trousers，Talk to the live camera slowly。Same as the simple dressing style，For 188bet Live Casino management，Ji Qi upholds simple values。

To this，Bazin agrees very much。Accor also implements the principle of "persisting in opening stores"，Being a doctor during the epidemic、 Nurse、As well as providing assistance and accommodation to people in need of protection and homeless。In the opinion of two guests，Nothing like "keeping the store open"，It’s more important to let those who need it in”，This is the original intention of running a 188bet Live Casino，Even in the most dangerous situation Difficult moments，Even under the pressure of huge losses，Nothing has changed。

During the epidemic，Huazhu has provided accommodation services to a total of 14.2 million guests，Safety and health issues have been listed as top priorities。Later stage of the epidemic，Huazhu has invested heavily in conducting 360-degree comprehensive cleaning and disinfection of more than 5,000 stores，Scrap hotel cotton textiles worth nearly 40 million yuan；And released the 188bet Live Casino’s first white paper on safe living，Establish a benchmark for deep cleaning in the 188bet Live Casino during the normal anti-epidemic stage。

Tonight，188bet Live Casino’s franchisee partners were also invited to the live broadcast room，Share how each of you has been assisted by 188bet Live Casino, a "big organization" during the epidemic，The story of overcoming financial and epidemic prevention difficulties and achieving self-rescue。For franchisees，188bet Live Casino actively launches support policies，Free rent through owner、Franchise fee reduction、Apply for financial loans and government relief policies, etc.，Help them overcome difficulties together。According to statistics，During the epidemic，188bet Live Casino reduces fees for franchisees by nearly 1.200 million yuan，The cumulative amount of financial support issued is 50 million yuan。

“We did everything we could，Can be summarized as: guests first，Care for employees，Guarantee franchisees to survive the 188bet Live Casino。This is an investment in like-minded partners and allies，Although not in the plan，But it gave us unexpected trust、Loyalty and intimacy。”Obviously，Ji Qi is very satisfied with the return rate of this "unexpected investment"。

Big brand + big chain = quick blood recovery

In the face of major crisis，Someone has a good ride，Straight up to the blue sky；Some people are overwhelmed，Defeated。The market is fair，Always maintain dynamic balance，Also let enterprises see themselves clearly。

According to relevant statistics，188bet Live Casino occupancy rate during this year’s Spring Festival dropped by 71% compared to the same period last year。The occupancy situation is lower than that during SARS in 2003，Especially "scattered、small、Weak independent hotels are facing an existential crisis。Different from chain hotels in its strong resource integration and risk resistance capabilities，Small and medium-sized independent hotels have relatively weak ability to withstand crises。After the epidemic，Independent hotels have limited endurance in all aspects， It is difficult to continue to provide guests with a safe stay。Opposite，Large 188bet Live Casino chains can make use of their own complete comprehensive system，Leverage your strengths，Respond to market demand as soon as possible。

Since the outbreak，188bet Live Casino leverages its advantages as a large chain，Unify the top-down thinking of the entire group，Coordinate the execution of each brand and department，Continuously strengthen the organizational strength of the enterprise，Create cultural power with a sense of belonging。Meanwhile，Powerful central procurement platform provides material support，Properly organized operating rules provide stores with guidelines for emergencies，Thus ensuring rapid response，Efficient operation，Also allows the normal operation of the store，Use solid business capabilities to ensure the safety of guests。According to statistics，The average occupancy rate of 188bet Live Casino in May has returned to nearly 80% of the same period last year，The highest single-day occupancy rate has reached 83%。Talk about why 188bet Live Casino can quickly regenerate blood at a much higher efficiency than its peers，Ji Qi said there are two main reasons: First, it benefits from the brand’s original accumulation；The second is to insist on opening。

“Behind this series of coherent execution actions，It relies on a group of responsible people、The leadership team is supporting regardless of personal gains and losses，From the battle-hardened post-60s to the fledgling post-90s or even the post-00s。"Ji Qi said。After the outbreak，188bet Live Casino immediately established an anti-epidemic leading group and central command headquarters，Take the lead in deployment on the front line，Set an excellent example for grassroots employees。"Facts show，In the face of this unprecedented disaster，‘front wave’ and ‘back wave’ are never opposites，But a true hero who cherishes each other，Complement each other，Advance and retreat together。" Ji Qi sighed with a smile。

Tonight，188bet Live Casino also received questions from many young online job seekers，And shared his valuable workplace experience。He said，The more difficult the moment，The more we must learn to calm ourselves，Cultivation of internal strength。Job hunting and investment are the same thing，Stand firm，Strengthen the foundation，Only then can we wait and see what happens，Ready to go。

188bet Live Casino is the best era

For the future prospects of the hotel 188bet Live Casino，Both Ji Qi and Bazin expressed their confidence，And believe that the advantages of leading companies will be more fully stimulated by the reverse force of the epidemic，Welcoming new development opportunities。

188bet Live Casino thinks，The external environment is fickle。No one can give a precise definition of "the best of times" and "the worst of times"，The only thing we can control is ourselves。"The stronger and calmer the heart is，Only when you face this kind of uncertainty and unknowability can you feel more comfortable。” he added。

“China’s hotel 188bet Live Casino is moving towards 3.0 era——This is a set chaining、Intensification、Efficiency、Branding、The era of platformization，The traditional hotel 188bet Live Casino must transform into the emerging hotel 188bet Live Casino，Huazhu will also strive to become one of the advanced representatives。" Ji Qi said。Huazhu will further implement the new data-driven strategy，Empower the brand with comprehensive intelligent operations。During this epidemic，Huazhu launches "Huazhanggui" self-service check-in、Average stay per day Usage rate nearly 50%，Zero-second check-out daily average usage rate is nearly 75%；Also enable robot "contactless" smart service，More than 200,000 deliveries per month，Covering approximately 2,000 stores，Some stores are even fully automated，Greatly reduces the risk of cross-infection during the epidemic，Especially for budget and mid-range hotels，Reduced labor costs，Greatly improved service efficiency。

But for the application of intelligence in different accommodation scenarios，The two senior Chinese and French figures seem to have some differences。“China’s artificial intelligence is at least a year ahead of Europe，We are catching up，But I am opposed to self-service check-in、Check out，It is our responsibility to receive guests，A hotelier’s job is to talk and share with people、Create surprises for guests、Take them to enjoy the beautiful scenery around the 188bet Live Casino，Instead of letting automatic robots replace people。"Bazin thinks，Technology is just a tool，It may be a very effective anti-epidemic measure at this stage，But in the medium to long term，Mid-to-high-end guests need a richer experience and warm service - thank you、Smile back、Convey courtesy，These are irreplaceable by cold machines。

Maybe，How intelligence and humanization can be optimally combined to extend user scenarios remains to be discussed，But we believe，188bet Live Casino recovery has begun，The best of times，Already arrived。
