Overview
- Nintendo’s 3.0 update introduces Kapp’n’s hotel, where designing rooms attracts visiting NPC tourists who explore player islands.
- Tourists follow check-in and check-out schedules and cannot be invited to become permanent residents under current rules.
- The game does not let players choose or block specific visitors, and there is no toggle to halt hotel traffic once a room is opened.
- New guidance explains tourists start appearing after at least one renovation day, wear set hotel uniforms, and can be lodged in VIP or standard rooms for ticket rewards.
- Player reaction is split between heartfelt reunions with former villagers and complaints about island crowding and lag, with some reports speculating tourists use different AI.
