Brand-new Rong is a post-90s student who has been running this homestay for 5 years. Just graduated from college at that time, she stood out in an entrepreneurial competition and got a low-interest loan of 65,438+10,000 yuan as the start-up capital. She used the money to rent a private house in Huangyao Ancient Town and started to build her own inn. Because of limited funds, she personally presided over the renovation, which not only saved the design fee, but also "credited" many acquaintances' materials.
"My target group is girls of the same age. I have 9 rooms, all small and fresh. " Xinrong said that because of her accurate positioning, she made a profit in the first year of her business. The next year, she rented a house next to it, expanding the area of the hotel.
Because of the epidemic, the first half of 2020 is like a long winter for Xinrong. In the second half of the year, Huangyao Ancient Town Scenic Area ushered in a recovery. In previous years, the income of her store in June 5438+ 10 was about 654.38+million yuan, and it will remain at about 80% in 2020, which strengthened her confidence in continuing to operate the hotel.

According to Xin Rong, Guzhen B&B is one of the most active sectors in the field of culture and tourism in China, which contains great cultural, social and economic values. The development plan of tourist homestays (2020-2025) issued by Guangxi proposes to rebuild 3,000 tourist homestays, making them an important support for building a strong tourist area and a new bright spot and growth point for urban and rural economic development.
Starting from the second half of 2020, brand-new Rong began to plan new stores. This time, she intends to build a homestay completely different from the ancient town inn outside the scenic spot, combining with the pastoral scenery, so that guests can experience the farming style of returning to nature.
"My entrepreneurship happened to be during the' Thirteenth Five-Year Plan' period, benefiting from good policies, otherwise I may not have the courage to take the first step." Xin Rong said, "I feel that during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period, the tourism industry developed with high quality, and people's desire to pursue a better life became stronger. Seize the opportunity, I believe my career will be bigger and better. "
