Will crack down on "house bug"

On the 3 day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the occupancy rate of all kinds of tourist accommodation facilities in this city will continue to maintain high level. The occupancy rate of the star rated guest rooms in the city is around 90%. The average occupancy rate of the guest rooms in the relatively concentrated areas of Pudong New Area, excluding Nanhui, Huangpu District, Luwan District, Xuhui District, Changning District and Jingan District, is about 95%.

"At present, the prices of star rated hotels, restaurants and economic chain hotels in this city are generally stable, and the price increase is generally around 30%.

However, there are individual hotels that use the Expo to drive up prices. At the same time, some irregular housing reservation websites, travel agencies and "house worms" have hoarded part of the houses and sold them at a high price before the convening of World Expo.

Dao Shuming, director of the Municipal Tourism Bureau, said that the tourism industry association, together with the large scale economic chain hotels in the city, issued an initiative to the housing industry, strengthening self-discipline, advocating good faith management, and fighting against price increases.

At the same time, the city tourism administration requires all hotels to "clearly mark the price", once they find the hotels that they want to raise their prices, they must be severely punished.

The peak of student flow will come.

The main visitors to the park in the first three weeks were tourists. However, with the end of the college entrance examination and the arrival of summer vacation, Expo Park will usher in the peak of student flow.

Although the pulling effect of World Expo on the accommodation industry is obvious, the occupancy rate of guesthouses and hotels in this city has been greatly raised compared with the same period last year.
