Can Hotel Reject Your Stay Just Because You're A Foreigner?
Ever booked a hotel in China, rolled in with your suitcase all excited, only to hear that dreaded line: “Sorry, we’re not qualified to accept foreigners”?
Yeah… me too. Awful.
It’s been repeated so often it might as well be part of the hotel’s welcome script when a foreigner walks in. And the reason they give? “According to the law…”
Well, let’s stop right there.
Because that, my friends, is a complete lie.
There. Is. No. Such. Law.
None. Zero. Zilch. ๆจๆ๏ผ
And here’s the kicker — even the Chinese government is tired of this nonsense. They’ve been wrongly blamed for years over a “rule” that doesn’t exist, and they’ve finally had enough.
So now, the Central Government has spoken — loud and clear.
All Hotels Barred From Refusing Foreign Guests Last July, the Central Government finally snapped (in a good way). Seven big-shot ministries—including tourism, immigration, police, and commerce—got together like the Avengers of bureaucracy and dropped this official statement below:Here’s the translated gist of that document (in my biased way):
“Dear hotels and local officials:
We don’t care wtf your excuse is.
If a foreigner books a stay, you accept them.
Y'all hear me?Do the paperwork. Do your job. Stop making it hard.
Sincerely,
The F**king Awesome Seven Ministries.”
So yeah, this is not just another local memo stuck on a dusty bulletin board.
This came straight from the top—and it’s official.
