"B&B Hero and Homestay Korea"

According to data released by the Korea Tourism Organization, more and more foreign visitors, including Japanese and Chinese, have visited Korea in the past 10 years. Although the number of Chinese tourists decreased briefly due to the effect of THAAD, the trend continues to rise. The source is that the myriad of Korean cultural contents from Winter Sonata, which aired in 2002, to BTS recently have been in the spotlight in other countries. Winter Sonata shook the hearts of middle-aged women in Japan, and BTS topped the Billboard 200. 

Whether it's a hallyu-inspired tourist or a pure admirer of Korea, foreigners who come to Korea need lodging companies to sleep. And the owners of the lodging companies want to rent out space for foreigners. Accommodation is no longer a completely new type of shared economy, but lodging companies in Korea have never been properly introduced. First, I would like to introduce B&B, and secondly, homestay Korea.




Along with introducing foreign tourists to every corner of Korea, V&V is an online platform that provides convenient home-to-home lodging and offers various tourism programs in Korea. And homestay Korea is the largest foreign homestay company in Korea, representing Korea. Established in 1998, it has held more than 11,000 homes nationwide and has contributed to the spread of the shared culture by providing homestay matching services to foreigners visiting Korea for 17 years. It also operates an online homestay matching platform while providing detailed and specialized services through CS Center.



Then let's look at how to become a host of the two companies. In the case of B&B, members must be registered first if they use the B&B center for the first time. In B&B, you can sign up as a member by simply typing in an e-mail address. If you have a Facebook account, you can sign up with a Facebook account just by logging on to Facebook. Next, you can raise your room and get a reservation according to a simple procedure. The next room is registered. Registering a room with profile will end when you register a room, registering basic information, raising radiation, setting specific conditions such as duration and price on a calendar. 




Next is homestay Korea. In addition, you must sign up as a member on your homepage. When entering the membership, fill out all necessary information. After logging in, you can visit the homepage periodically and invite a suitable guest from the guest list. Or they may apply directly by referring to photos and information registered by the guest. And you can check the application status by visiting the website often.



So far, we've looked at B&B and Home Stay Korea. Before the advent of the shared economy, it was very difficult for foreigners, who were unfamiliar with Korea's geography, to even bookings. Even Koreans had a hard time making reservations. With the advent of the shared economy, however, the prices are cheaper and the accommodation is easier to reserve. And with the development of the Internet, foreigners can choose the accommodation they trust. Because it is easy to supply lodging facilities due to the shared economy, the supply increased and the Internet made reservation easier. And considering the comments of the users who post on the Internet, the trust of the shared lodging will be increased if the reputation is good, and the reliability of the guest house will be reduced if the rating is not good, making it easier for the user to choose the accommodation. Such a shared economy will bring us into the new world. I hope every experienced man in the new world enjoys the benefits of a shared economy.
