With around $300 billion spent every year overseas, Chinese market is incredibly tempting for hotels, but it\u2019s probably the hardest one to penetrate as well. We are always looking to develop our hotel revenue management <\/a>and distribution strategies for new opportunities. Talking with some of the experts in the market we have put together a top 10 list of tips and best practices to make your hotel \u2018chinese friendly\u2019<\/strong> and attract this massive growing market segment.<\/p>\n

So, if you don’t know where to start with the \u201cLand of the Dragon\u201d, forget about noodles, dumplings or martial arts B-movies and follow this short guide to turn your hotel into the ultimate Chinese-friendly experience!<\/p>\n

1, 2, 3, Go!<\/span><\/h3>\n

Statistically, the average Chinese travelers stay is pretty short (according to a recent Ctrip study, most package-tour travelers visit over 3 Countries in 10 days), they prefer to move in groups and avoid the DIY approach. This is because of several reasons: usually Chinese do not speak fluent English, so traveling in groups is reassuring, moreover, agencies take care of pretty much every aspect of the travel, including getting Visas (only 7% of the population actually possesses a passport and getting a Visa is usually a pain in the butt, if you pardon my french). Chinese travelers have a clear preference for beaten-track destinations with known landmarks.<\/p>\n

Tip #1: Speak to your tour series and group bookers and find out if they have Chinese clients. You could use this group market to quote \u2018opaque rates\u2019 to create base occupancy. Of course highlight the space you have for busses or minibuses to drop-off and pick-up guests.<\/h4>\n

The Year of the Cat, nope, the Dog<\/span><\/h3>\n

Equally important is to recognize the religious, cultural and political differences. For example is not unusual for Chinese to have only one or two weeks of annual holidays. Unthinkable, for us, lazy Europeans! Nevertheless, last year over 6 million of Chinese travelers spent the Lunar New Year Holiday week (late January – early February) overseas, a period that is usually considered low-season in Europe and can be, therefore, exploited!<\/p>\n

Tip #2: Study their travel habits and create specific packages for the Spring Festival break!<\/h4>\n

Meeting the Expectations<\/span><\/h3>\n

You should learn what the Chinese travelers expect from hotels when abroad: paying for wifi, for example, is unimaginable and, even though they do not expect your staff to speak fluent Mandarin, it will certainly improve their experience. Comb, toothbrush, and slippers in a room are expected, just like kettles to make (huge quantities of) tea. When managing a complaint with a Chinese guest, staff should be indirect, diplomatic and avoid confrontation at all cost: the worst offense you can do to a Chinese is to lose your temper, as hiding emotion seems to be the national sport over there. As bad as it may sound, hotel staff (and staff in general) is considered as servants by Chinese, therefore more delicate issues should be managed by General Managers directly. Never turn your back on a Chinese guest and don\u2019t forget to smile like until your mouth aches when talking to them. Do not offer preferential treatment to women and, in the rare case a Chinese offers you his business card, treat it as the Holy Grail and grab it with two hands.<\/p>\n

Tip #3: Something that is normal in Western cultures is offensive to Chinese. Do your homework! Having Chinese speaker staff is a very effective, yet, not always possible for small properties. Try adding some Chinese TV programs and a few typical dishes on your menu! And how about partnering with a local Chinese speaking tour-guide …<\/h4>\n

The Devil is in the Details<\/span><\/h3>\n

Did you know that the Chinese word for \u201cfour\u201d sounds like the Chinese word for \u201cdeath\u201d? Greek call this tetraphobia, or fear of the number 4. This number should never be pronounced during holidays or when somebody is sick. Chinese elevators often skip the 4th floor. So, you got it: NEVER put a Chinese guest on the 4th floor. Looking for a complaint (or an ancient Chinese curse?): assign the room 444\u2026 But, hey, the good news is that the numbers 8 and 9 are considered very lucky.<\/p>\n

Tip #4: Make sure you never assign a room with a \u201c4\u201d in it to a Chinese guest, but prefer rooms with a 8 or a 9<\/h4>\n

I\u00a0Pay with my Little Phone<\/span><\/h3>\n

A friend of mine from Shangai once told me that “I can live pretty well by having only Alipay or WeChat on my mobile”. This can sound like a radical statement, but it is incredible how quickly the Country managed to move its payments from cash to digital, almost skipping the credit card phase tout-court. According to a recent Nielsen survey, when abroad Chinese travelers \u201csubconsciously take out their phones, only to realize later that the merchant does not support mobile payments\u201d.<\/p>\n

Tip #5: Accept Alipay and WeChat as methods of payment! Don\u2019t forget to mention it on your website<\/h4>\n

Banned in China<\/span><\/h3>\n

Even though there is a timid, new trend of tech-savvy Chinese travelers using western online platforms such as Google (via VPN, of course) remember that over 6 million websites are blocked in mainland China. And, between them, there are the main western capitalist social media such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram. So trying to penetrate the Chinese market using these platforms is like tying eat chicken soup with chopsticks.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Tip #6: According to Dragon Tail, over 70% of Chinese travelers use social media as the main channel to organize their trip. Did you know that WeChat has more users than Instagram? Create a WeChat account (possibly a service one) NOW!<\/h4>\n

Forget about Booking.com and Google<\/span><\/h3>\n

OTAs are different from ours in China (oh, yeah, that’s surprising…): even though Booking.com and Agoda are available, Ctrip, Qunar, and Alitrip are way more popular. TripAdvisor has its own Chinese language version (DaoDao), but it is way less used than Qyer or Mafengwo. Same with search engines: political pressures have negatively influenced the expansion of Google, so the majority of hotel searches start in Baidu (700 million users). On top of that, the algorithms developed to organize search results in Indo-European languages \u200b\u200bare not effective for different alphabet and syntax.<\/p>\n

Tip #7: Connect with Chinese OTAs, at least with Ctrip (over 50% of market share and 160 million app downloads) and do not waste money advertising on Google, but try some Baidu Ads!<\/h4>\n

Paper is Dead, but not entirely<\/span><\/h3>\n

Did you know? One of the most popular travel search queries in China is \u201cname of city + travel guide\u201d. As anachronistic as it may sound, being listed on a few guides is not such a bad idea.<\/p>\n

Tip #8: List your hotel on a few Chinese travel guides to increase your brand awareness<\/h4>\n

Where to Host your Chinese Website<\/span><\/h3>\n

Loading times for websites not hosted in China can be incredibly high. But, in order to host your website over there, you should register a Chinese business… And it’s bloody expensive.<\/p>\n

Tip #9: If you cannot host your website in China, choose Hong Kong: it\u2019s slightly easier and load time will be good enough for Chinese web users<\/h4>\n

Killed by Design<\/span><\/h3>\n

The cultural background heavily influences Chinese aesthetic canons as well. Try to compare Tripadvisor with its Asian equivalent Daodao: the profound aesthetic web design differences are striking. Advertising in China is not that simple, either. Baidu, for example, is way more restrictive on advertisements than Western search engines and it requires the approval of your account before you can start bidding.<\/p>\n

Tip #10: Create a dedicated website version for Chinese users and make sure to follow Baidu guidelines for advertising!<\/h4>\n

The final word<\/h3>\n

China is a complicated market, especially for the cultural and political differences that divide us. If you want to attract the Chinese traveler to your hotel, you will have to learn and about their habits and preferences.<\/strong> Adapting to their needs and expectations is fundamental to success.<\/p>\n
