Abstract
The number of B&B is burgeoning in Taiwan, but lots of them remain illegal. Many reasons make it happened. However, this study particularly aims at surveying B&B owners’ cognition to regulations for rural accommodation industry and micro-accommodation industry regulations. In the mean time, this study also consults the regulations and condition of accommodation industry in foreign countries to try to provide recommendation for the direction and applicability of regulations for Taiwan’s accommodation industry.
By collecting information about the development condition and regulations for accommodation industry of advanced overseas countries, this study finds out the accommodation industry in those overseas countries always contain micro accommodation industry which is set between B&B and hotel industry. This study claims that micro accommodation industry is what Taiwan demand.
This study sent 500 questionaries and received 219 valid responses. The statistics shows that B&B owners with different B&B operation condition have different cognition to present B&B regulations and micro accommodation industry regulations. Overall, the important factors which affect B&B owners’ cognition to present B&B regulations include those have positive influences：「the number of long-term staff」and the operation period「upon eight years」and those have negative influence：「the number of family members as staff」 and the investment「more than 13million」. Moreover, the important factors which affect B&B owners’ cognition to micro accommodation regulations include those have positive influences：「the number of long-term staff」and monthly cost「more than 80 thousand dollars」and those have negative influence：「the number of family members as staff」 and 「the percentage of B&B income is between 21~50% of owner’s total income」。
48.9% of B&B owners, 107 people, invested more than 8 million dollars. 47.9% of B&B owners, 105 people, whose B&B income is between 21~50% of total income. 57.6% of B&B owners, 126 people, whose B&B monthly cost is more 30 thousand. The statistics above shows that near half B&B in Taiwan has turned into specialized and full-time operation.
According to the result, this study gets a conclusion that most B&B owners think the existing regulations for B&B is not suitable for use and they are looking forward to the establishment of regulations for minor-accommodation industry.
