Due to the complexity and unique of the cases, we collect second-hand materials to know more about the old-house-reborn B&B in Taiwan at the beginning of this thesis. Moreover, we have a depth interview with each one operator of the old-house-reborn B&B cases. To understand the cases development, we combined verbatim transcription of interview and second-hand materials. Using appropriate analysis tools turns raw materials into useful know-how.

They try to provide a way of slow living and depth itinerary to put their special position in the market. Both of them are destination stores which appeals travelers to visit them and stay longer to walk around.
