Home Inns

Home Inns appears in 困在系统里的酒店，你不知道的携程垄断练成史 through Ji Qi’s shift from Ctrip / Trip.com Group into hotel operations. The source says Ctrip and a hotel partner worked on Home Inns, with Ji involved in preparation and operation before later leaving.

The page matters because Home Inns connects online booking demand aggregation to standardized hotel supply. That supply-side learning later feeds the episode’s discussion of Hanting Hotel, Huazhu Group, and hotel groups trying to build direct-booking channels.
