The differences between homestays and hotels lie in their operators, business models, management philosophies, and operational scale. Homestays are usually run by individuals or families, while hotels are managed by companies or groups. Secondly, homestays typically operate in a family-style manner and provide simple accommodation services, while hotels operate in a professional manner and offer complete accommodation facilities and services such as restaurants, conference rooms, swimming pools, etc. Additionally, homestays usually focus on local culture, natural scenery, ecology, environmental resources, and agricultural, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry production activities, providing accommodation for travelers seeking a rural living experience. Hotels, on the other hand, usually emphasize standardization, efficiency, and pursuit of comfort and luxury.
