The theme hotels in China started late, and domestic consumers still choose to stay in traditional hotels. The occupancy rate of theme hotels as a whole remains at about 50%, which is far lower than that of foreign theme hotels. The outstanding problems are reflected in the following aspects:

1. The choice of theme culture is relatively convergent and lacks innovation

The choice of theme culture is relatively similar, and the differences among the theme culture hotels are not obvious. The uniqueness, uniqueness and irreproducibility of the theme cultural hotel are not highlighted. The core standard of a cultural theme hotel is culture, and the prerequisite for creating a cultural theme hotel is to carefully analyze the cultural resources and customer demand of the customer source market, and create products with distinctive characteristics and meeting the consumption needs of guests.

2.The theme culture is single

From the perspective of the specific construction method of the theme cultural hotel, the presentation of the theme culture by the hotel is relatively simple, and there are obvious surface phenomena. For example, most of the theme cultural hotels are only based on their own flat layout, landscape matching, interior decoration, and The service personnel's dress and other aspects are effectively constructed. Although on the surface it does meet the requirements of the theme culture, it cannot reflect the deep theme culture, and the customers cannot also understand the specific theme culture connotation.

Food service products should have special catering foods related to cultural themes, and room service products should have creative products related to the theme culture, as well as creative services based on cultural themes, with customers' "experience" as the first requirement , And finally should provide corresponding experiential services in product services, such as sports, leisure services, specialty goods services, etc.
