Journalists found that Xiamen, Guangzhou, Hengqin, Shanghai, Wuhan, Shenzhen and other places took the lead in exploring the path of revitalizing existing commercial office buildings by temporarily changing their functions or adjusting their building styles to "change from commercial to hotel". This path is being implemented in more cities. Journalists have observed that many cities have adopted a "transition period" policy design. For example, Wuhan has a general building transition period of 5 years, and the transition period for converting existing commercial buildings can be extended to 15 years; Guangzhou has set a maximum transition period of 15 years; taking into account the characteristics of the hotel investment return cycle, Zhuhai has clearly stated that the temporary change period is 5 years for the first time, and after the expiration, it can be renewed for 5 years after evaluation, achieving stable operation for 10 years. In addition, it is worth noting that in terms of policy coverage, it has expanded from hotel functions to more areas of people's livelihood and industries, exploring more new formats.
