摘 要:经济型酒店的概念形成于十九世纪的美国，近些年来才在中国出现。经济型酒店的主要特点就是把功能简化，主要注重在住宿服务上，而把诸如餐饮、购物、娱乐等服务大大缩减，甚至取消，因此运营成本得到很大幅度降低。中国经济型酒店于1996 年开始才得到发展，“锦江之星”作为全中国第一个本土经济型酒店品牌得以问世。进入二十一世纪以后，各种经济型酒店品牌如雨后春笋般迅速增加。从2001年至今，我国经济型酒店整体规模年均增速大大超过50%，成为世界经济型酒店发展史上的奇观。如此多本土品牌的出现，再加上国外品牌如Super 8、Days Inn等的加入，可以预见，中国经济型酒店的竞争会变得越来越激烈，在此情况下，笔者认为成本控制已经上升成为了经济型酒店生存的一个战略高度。本课题说明了中国经济型酒店行业采取成本控制的必要性，以成本控制的几种方法为切入点，结合中国经济型酒店的现状，并借助对成本控制的典范——七天酒店为分析对象，总结国外同行业的先进经验，指明中国经济型酒店行业成本控制中应该采取的有效措施和方法。
