The Hotel "Housing Bug" Will Be Severely Investigated Through The High Price Resale Of The World'S Hoard.

World Expo has attracted tourists from all over the world. The average occupancy rate of hotels in this city has reached a new high of 90% in recent years.

Due to the good business of hotels, individual hotels began to drive up prices. Some irregular booking websites, travel agencies and "house worms" hoarded a large number of houses, and then increased the price of one hundred percent to sublet the market.

Regarding this, Dao Shuming, director of the Municipal Tourism Bureau, said yesterday at the World Expo tourism reception and ventilation meeting that the City Tourism Bureau will have a "check with" the departments of Commerce, industry, price and so on.

Hoarding and real estate will be investigated.

The reporter learned from yesterday's World Expo tourism reception aeration meeting that since the Expo opened, the average occupancy rate of hotels in this city is above 76%. Recently, it has reached a rare 90% up and down, and the average price increase is around 30%.

It has been revealed that due to the relative tension of the accommodation resources around the Expo and the central city in the near future, some "hoof worms" that hoarded the listings began to resell to other institutions that need rooms in the form of one hundred percent increase in price, so that the price of some hotel rooms rose exponentially.

In addition, some illegal individual booking centers attract customers by distributing small advertisements, and offer quotations of "one day, one price" to individual customers, causing tourists to complain.

In addition, a small number of hotels increase their prices rationally. For example, a new hotel will sell the remaining two rooms at a price of 6000 yuan, more than double the original price. After being complained, they will have to pay a refund to the tourist.

Dao Shuming, director of the Municipal Tourism Bureau, said that the tourism authorities are now getting to know more about the situation, and will investigate the phenomenon of "house bug" hoarding and real estate with industry and commerce, prices and other departments.

At the same time, the city tourism industry association will also launch a proposal with the large scale economic chain hotel in this city, advocating the integrity management of hotels and restaurants, and opposing the drive up of housing prices.

Deployment of surrounding cities housing pressure

"When the number of visitors to Expo Park reaches 400 thousand, the average occupancy rate of our hotel and restaurant is around 90%. When the number of visitors reaches 500 thousand, the average rental rate of the hotel is around 95%, and there are some housing shortage in some areas, and the tourism department will issue corresponding warning."

Dao Shuming said, from the current situation, since the Expo opened, the average occupancy rate of hotels in the suburbs of Shanghai is up to 57%, and still can digest some tourists.

In addition, the Shanghai Nanjing high speed rail will be opened in July 1st, when tourists from Suzhou, Wuxi, Zhenjiang and Nanjing can reach Shanghai quickly. Some of the Expo's visitors will be diverted to these cities.

Take Suzhou as an example, it takes only more than 20 minutes to travel from Shanghai to Suzhou by the Shanghai Nanjing Expressway, and the average price of hotels in Suzhou is about 70-80 yuan lower than that of Shanghai. The high star hotels are 200 yuan or even more than those of Shanghai hotels.

For the Expo visitors who are diverted to Suzhou, the accommodation price difference between the two places can offset the high speed rail fare.

In addition to Suzhou, Hangzhou, Jiaxing and other places of housing supply for Shanghai part of the accommodation pressure.
