Many workers have had no choice but to adapt to working from home in recent months since offices shut
down due to the COVID-19 pandemic (新冠疫情). And the noisy situation and endless housework may result in a
terrible emotion. A new option is waiting foryou. That is WFH: work from a hotel.
Hotel Figuero
A special program titled Work Perks aims to reposition some of 94-year-old Hotel Figuero’s 268 rooms as
day-use offices.
According to Managing Director Connie Wang, the set-up launched in June and is a great opportunity to get
out of their houses with high-speed Wi-Fi, unlimited printing privileges and free parking. The 350-square-foot
rooms sell for $ 129 per day, with an option to extend to an overnight stay for an additional $ 20.
The Wythe
A boutique hotel inBrooklyn. The hotel recently announced a partnership with co-working office space
company Industrious through which it is recycling 13 second-story guest rooms to serve as offices for up to four
people.
Each of the rooms has a small outdoor platform, and dogs are welcome. Pricing starts at $ 200 and goes up to
$ 275, depending on how many people use the space.
The Sawyer
The Sawyer, in Sacramento, California, is offering pool cabanas (更衣室) for use as outdoor offices, complete
with fast Wi-Fi, free parking and catered lunch for $ 150 per day.
HotelsByDay
Yannis Moati founded HotelsByDay back in 2015. That company has grown to include more than 1,500 hotels,
and has seen a significant increase in the number of inquiries for day-use bookings lately.
Moati said the current situation will force hotels to upgrade themselves to stay alive, and he predicted that
offering rooms for day-use only is one of the directions they will go.

Spain's tourism industry is looking to Chinese tourists for its high-endmarket, according to Rafael Cascales,
president of the Spain-China Tourism Association (ATEC). “It is the kind of tourism that is not only interested in the
sun, beach and the “all-included” culture. They enjoy culture, wine, history and nature, and the new Chinese
tourists would also want to spend more money in Spain," said Cascales in a recent interview with Xinhua.
“They are younger, more women travel and they are more cosmopolitan (见多识广的).They also travel on
their own or in couples or in smaller groups. The old-fashioned large groups of visitors have not disappeared, but
this new form of traveling is becoming more important,55he said.
Speaking of the consumption pattern of the new kind of Chinese tourists, Cascales said, “The money they
spend is distributed better because they will book one flight with one airline, the hotel with another company and
the restaurant with another.” In his eyes, “Chinese tourists are very important because they combine two things:
there are a large number of them and they spend more money than anyone else — almost four times more than
tourists from other countries." They not only travel abroad in the summer months when Spain has to compete
with the sun and beaches in countries such as Turkey and Egypt, but also travel in the off-peak seasons of a year,
according to Cascales.
In 2017, Spain is the second most popular tourist destination in the world, only after France. It attracted
about 82 million visitors, 700,000 of them from China, a number which is estimated to rise to about 2.2 million by
2022.
“We are ready; we have the infrastructure (基础设施) at every level, especially in hotel capacity. Here those
visitors can find what they are looking for, including the luxury items which distinguish them,” Cascales noted.
4. What are the features of the new Chinese tourists according to Cascales? A. They are cautious about spending money in Spain.
B. They are likely to travel in smaller groups now.
C. They are only interested in the sun and beach.
D. They are mainly male visitors of middle age.
5. What can we learn about the consumption pattern of new Chinese tourists?
A. They will reserve flights and hotels with different companies.
B. They will spend less money than tourists from other countries.
