As the epidemic is gradually under control, some public business places in Ningbo have resumed business one after another. Many hotels that were originally suspended from business have also opened one after another. What is their current situation? How did they spend this different Spring Festival? In the past few days, the reporter conducted a special interview.
only receive more than 10 customers per day
For the current situation of Ningbo hotels, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "cold and deserted".
During the visit, the reporter sat in the lobby of Boning Hotel (Zhousudu Branch, Nantang Old Street), for 2 hours, but only two tourists checked in during this period. The original "hard to find" parking spaces, even the ground parking lot has many empty spaces, not to mention the underground garage. The store manager admitted that since business and tourism have not yet fully returned to their previous liveliness, the hotel has always been in a state of "low booking rate", and the daily booking is only about 20 rooms. After the resumption of business of
Moqi Hotel (Southern Business District Store), it received only more than 10 guests every day.
is proportional to this, currently the hotel staff are only single digits. The room cleaning staff doesn’t have to go to work every day, “you can just clean up and check out every few days.” said the staff of Boning Hotel.
This situation also happens in high-star hotels. Due to the epidemic, although the Ningbo Kaizhou Crowne Plaza Hotel did not have a real closure, they did not accept new guests for a long time.
According to reports, 13 hotels under Tiangang Hotel Group have officially resumed work (room part), and the hotel occupancy rate is 15%, most of which are people returning to Ningbo from other places.
According to statistics from Ningbo Hotel Industry Association, the losses of the 185 member hotels (units) of the association reached nearly 200 million yuan for the "Spring Festival" alone. "If business economy hotels, theme hotels, inns and homestays are included, the losses of more than 5,000 accommodation companies in the city are immeasurable." An associate member admitted.
-star hotels have started selling lunch boxes
Ningbo hotel industry is using various methods to save itself.
Recently, 18 employees of Ningbo Hangzhou Bay Century Jinyuan Hotel signed a "shared employees" employment agreement with Qinyuan Group. After on-the-job training, on the morning of March 1, the first batch of "shared employees" in the new district officially started construction. Hotel employees who were previously engaged in the service industry have transformed into assemblers on the company's assembly line.
At the same time, since most hotels in Ningbo are not open for dine-in, they quickly transform into the direction of takeout, group meals, and food supply. Many will also actively sell semi-processed vegetables, group-buying food sets in private domain traffic pools such as member groups, "fans" groups, and owner groups to save themselves.
Nanyuan Hotel, Tiangang Hotel Group, Ningbo Kaizhou Crowne Plaza Hotel, Ningbo Yidong Howard Johnson Hotel and other hotels have launched takeaway businesses, although the price is a bit cheap.
Nanyuan Hotel launched a Hong Kong-style barbecue fried rice, spicy and sour fat beef rice bowl, crispy chicken chop rice and other takeout products for multiple categories, starting from 10 boxes, and free delivery fees.
focuses on receiving front-line medical staff
The hotel business is bad, but they are not idle. The reporter learned from the interview that there are some hotel and accommodation companies in Ningbo that have bravely assumed social responsibilities, actively served the front line of prevention and control, and helped relevant parties to prevent and fight the epidemic.
After the outbreak of the epidemic, Tong Yidao, general manager of Ningbo’s old hotel Ningbo Hotel , learned that the hotels on the front line of the fight against the epidemic in Ningbo City need to be isolated. After discussing with colleagues, General Secretary Tong quickly decided to take the initiative to take the initiative to take the quarantine and reception task of medical staff from Ningbo Huamei Hospital , University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Ningbo Women and Children’s Hospital.
In addition to ensuring the accommodation environment, Ningbo Hotel is particularly concerned about the three meals provided by medical staff. Since the meal time of medical staff is very scattered, the hotel also requires the kitchen to cook separately according to the supply time, and the restaurant waiter will deliver it to the floor according to the time requirements.
Since February 11, Ningbo Hotel currently receives about 60 medical staff (people) every day. A staff member told reporters:
"At the beginning, there were only more than 10 rooms, which increased slowly, but later there were more and more daily increases.Because they are quarantined, they are basically in the room. When we eat, we prepare the lunch box and send it to the floor and they can pick it up by themselves. Since some doctors have been relieved from surgery in the middle of the night, we have to figure out how many people eat. People who cannot disturb the rest may not be the same. They also have to deliver it in batches according to the time they require. "
Hubei guests also have a place to stay in
front-line medical staff, not all Ningbo Hotel's Spring Festival.
When I learned that the first batch of Wuhan and Hubei people who were released from health observation and isolation were not willing to accept it, Ningbo Hotel happily accepted the reception request from the Haishu District Culture, Radio, Film and Tourism Bureau and placed a group of Hubei people.
Before the relevant prevention and control was relaxed, these Hubei people had been staying in Ningbo Hotel. Some Hubei people were also very difficult for economics. The hotel stated that they could arrange check-in in advance and consider the cost issue later.
Since February 11, Ningbo Hotel has received a total of 16 guests from key areas such as Hubei. During this batch of guests, the hotel staff strictly took the temperature twice a day, and strictly controlled their outings in accordance with the requirements of Ningbo City and Haishu District on the epidemic period. The Security Department has set up an epidemic prevention and control registration office in the lobby. All incoming and outgoing people must undergo temperature measurement and check the Yongxing code. The body temperature is normal and the Yongxing code is green. At present, 8 Hubei guests are still checking in. The reception work of this group of special guests is in certain dangers in the eyes of others. In response, Tong Yidao, general manager of Ningbo Hotel, replied very simple: "I am a veteran and cannot retire from the army. This time the situation is special, and we hotel people need to show the courage to assume social responsibility. ”
Nearly 20 hotels are set as urgent venues
During the entire fight against the epidemic, there are many hotels like Ningbo Hotel that have taken on social responsibilities.
During this year's Spring Festival, the Chengnan Branch of Nanyuan Ejia Huancheng South Road, a subsidiary of Qingteng Hotel Group, also received the epidemic prevention and reception demands raised by local departments. Zhang Ningxiang, chairman of the group, arranged staff to connect immediately. On February 6, after signing the epidemic prevention agreement, the epidemic prevention staff checked in the Chengnan store on the same day. Subsequently, some people who need to be quarantined also moved in one after another. Since then, Pay close attention to the lifting of quarantine and leaving the hotel, and new people returning to Ningbo have also checked in. From early February to the present, the manager Xie of Chengnan Store and the employees have been fighting on the front line, without a day of rest.
reporter learned that during the Spring Festival, nearly 20 hotels in all counties (cities) and districts of our city were set up as emergency places for combat readiness by the local government, becoming a special place for centralized place for patients with new coronary pneumonia and observation subjects. Many hotels have also actively raised implementation standards and specially formulated safety operation measures during the epidemic prevention period, which has contributed to the fight against the epidemic.
