It’s a ‘China Issue’ this month. Our amazing 10-day visit in
June allowed us to tell the story (and outline the success
factors) of British B&Bs, speak at the first-ever International
Shanghai B&B Conference (p6) and study the growth of the
Chinese B&B sector (p14). Bed & Breakfast News magazine

Also inside is the latest in music licensing – the MPLC brings
the number of licenses a B&B might be required to have
to four (see p18). Yes, we are not making this up! It makes
the fact that Airbnb ‘hosts’ are allowed to get away with
complying with nothing even more unfair (see p4).
