The tourist homestays in 9 cities of the GBA have developed rapidly in recent years，with a large overall number. Tourism homestay policies of the GBA are formulated earlier and in large numbers. With the continuous formation of Guangdong provincial public homestay brand “Guangdong Tourism Homestay”，Guangzhou “Huacheng Renjia” and other regional homestay public brands，Jiaochangwei Meisu Town and other characteristic homestay cluster brands，as well as a number of boutique homestays and Internet celebrity homestay brands，tourism homestay in the GBA are developing towards branding. There are no homestay policies in Hong Kong and Macao for the time being，and there are many constraints on the development of homestays. Most homestays operate without a license. A variety of innovative development models for homestays reflect the characteristics of the homestay industry in the GBA，such as the cluster building model of “homestay+resort town”，the cooperation model of government investment and business operation of whole village development，“homestay+idle” collective property activation model，“homestay+commercial public welfare” model，“homestay+real estate” model，etc. As a whole，Homestay in the GBA have problems such as uneven distribution of regional homesay，overall quality to be improved，national popularity to be improved，and mismatch between policies and industrial development. Therefore，it is recommended that the GBA pay attention to homestay investigation and development plan to promote the healthy development of homestays in each city. We should focus on the development of mid-to-high level homestay projects，benchmarking with world-class tourist destinations，and build an overall homestay brand in the GBA to increase the visibility of homestays in this area. Finally，we put forward suggestions to strengthen policy support and talent protection to consolidate the foundation for the development of the homestay industry. Hong Kong and Macao can rely on their own conditions to strengthen the rational and legal research on homestays.
