Homestay design is a hot topic in China in recent years, and the homestay design is an emerging and popular design area. As a fast-rising and popular design industry, it not only attracts countless designers to try and find breakthrough designs, but also attracts many homeowners to invest. However, many homestays are more like hotel development and real estate development in disguise. People who choose a homestay tend to have a higher demand for accommodation services and cultural experiences. They want to stay in a place with high quality, more features, more humanities, and better service than a one-of-a-kind hotel that pops up on a search engine.

Fernando Brandao, the chief designer of the Brazil Pavilion at the World Expo, shared his seven design points at the APDF B&B Design Salon, including respecting and embodying the traditional culture of the region, using local materials and seamless design. Robet Su, Singaporean designer said with his professional background and rich experience that designers should not only be positioned in the design perspective of a certain space or product, but should have a more comprehensive multi-dimensional perspective to construct their own brand value and image.Ms. Li Xiujie, chairman of Shanghai Nantingji Hotel Management Co., Ltd expressed the expectation that APDF can organize and recommend excellent designers to participate in the project cooperation project of B&B design project such as design villagehomestay. The nerves of each participant's participation in the research and cooperation of the B&B design project has been greatly touched through the short 100-minute exchange and discussion. At the same time, it also aroused the strong desire of participants to continue to participate in similar activities organized by APDF.

The current homestay is in the stage of in-depth development, and APDF has experienced homestay design experts and elite members from home and abroad. They will not only share their success stories, but also bring successful and mature experiences to participating B&B projects. At the same time, APDF, as a professional design organization, believes that it has the obligation and responsibility to guide the designers to better integrate into the local cultural life, local characteristics and personalization in the design process of the hotel. Extend the property chain of the hotel through derivative products and derivative service design, realizing the unique charm and taste of the hotel, it will have a positive impact on the exploration and promotion of the healthy development of China's future homestay industry. With the continuous development and expansion of APDF's own platform, APDF will continue to provide valuable and leading forward thinking for the development of different design industries by holding more professional and in-depth academic discussions and sharing.
