As a unique and important part of the tourism industry, featured B&B not only provides accommodation services, but is also an important carrier of cultural communication. Integrating and displaying local cultural customs and traditional arts in daily operations can not only enhance the tourists' experience, but also effectively promote the inheritance and development of local culture. Through a series of well-designed activities and services, featured B&B can allow every visiting guest to deeply feel the local customs and cultural heritage.First of all, reflecting local characteristics in architectural design and decoration is the first step. The design style of B&B should retain or imitate local traditional architectural forms as much as possible, such as using traditional building materials, colors and decorative elements. For example, in some B&Bs transformed from ancient villages, traditional architectural techniques such as wooden structures, green tile roofs and stone walls can be seen, and the interior is decorated with local handicrafts, folk paintings or old objects of historical significance. Such a design can not only bring visual enjoyment to tourists, but also allow them to inadvertently understand the local historical and cultural background. In addition, local craftsmen can be invited to participate in the construction process, which not only ensures the quality of the building, but also promotes the inheritance of traditional skills.Catering services are also an important window to showcase local culture. B&Bs can provide special dishes based on local ingredients, which often contain rich regional cultural information. For example, fresh seasonal agricultural products are selected, and delicacies are prepared according to traditional cooking methods, and guests are told the stories and cultural connotations behind each dish. Holding themed dinners or cooking classes is also a good way to allow tourists to personally participate in the preparation of food and experience the fun from field to table. At the same time, the choice of tableware should not be ignored. Ceramic utensils with local characteristics can be selected to further enhance the cultural atmosphere.Organizing various cultural experience activities is another important means to attract tourists to deeply understand local culture. For example, arrange visits to local museums, historical sites or participate in folk festivals to let tourists experience the charm of traditional culture firsthand. For those tourists who are interested in art, B&Bs can regularly hold small art exhibitions or concerts to showcase the works of local artists, including paintings, sculptures, music and other forms. In particular, some handicraft projects that are on the verge of extinction, such as embroidery, paper cutting, pottery, etc., can be opened in the form of workshops to invite tourists to participate in them and make their own souvenirs by themselves, which not only increases interactivity, but also promotes the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage.In terms of service details, homestay staff should receive relevant training so that they can introduce local cultural customs and traditional arts to guests in detail. Whether it is the front desk reception or the room service staff, they should have certain cultural knowledge and be able to naturally mention local customs, festivals and celebrations in daily communication. In addition, a detailed introduction manual can be prepared for each guest staying in the hotel, covering information such as recommendations for surrounding attractions, introductions to historical and cultural backgrounds, and schedules for participating in various activities, to help tourists better plan their itineraries.Finally, the use of modern scientific and technological means can also effectively enhance the effect of cultural communication. For example, develop an exclusive application or WeChat applet to provide voice guide services, so that tourists can get detailed explanations of local culture anytime and anywhere; or share wonderful moments and cultural stories through social media platforms to attract more potential tourists. This combination of online and offline methods not only expands the scope of communication, but also enhances interactivity and fun.In short, featured b&b has made positive contributions to the inheritance and development of local culture by integrating and displaying local cultural customs and traditional arts in an all-round and multi-level manner, while meeting the diverse needs of tourists. In this era of pursuing personalized experience, featured b&b has attracted more and more tourists with its unique charm to explore the unknown world and experience different fun in life. As people pay more and more attention to traditional culture, I believe that there will be more creative and in-depth cultural experience projects in featured b&b in the future, jointly promoting the cultural tourism industry to develop in a more prosperous direction.
