Bed & Breakfasts Are a Delightful Way to Support Local Economy!
At a time when it seems almost impossible to seek out areas of enterprise which have not yet been tainted by globalization, the timeless tradition of owner-operated inns persists as a precious sanctuary for those who believe in supporting LOCAL ECONOMY, AND getting a great night’s rest at the same time!
Bed And Breakfast Inns can work ANYWHERE!
The Bed And Breakfast is one of many businesses which are perfectly suited to the local economy model. Virtually any community, large or small, can sustain independently owned and operated B&Bs with minimal environmental impact.
Bed & Breakfasts make TINY footprints!
Unlike hotels and motels which require elaborate constructions to accommodate overnight guests, the footprint of a typical Bed And Breakfast is tiny in comparison. The nature of a B&B is all about extending accommodation from an existing living space rather than replicating each and every ammenity for each and every guest. As a result, any home owner with an extra room or suite could potentially operate their own Bed And Breakfast - and many do!
Every SMART COMMUNITY has B&Bs!
Allowing for home occupation and B&B operation is a sign of a well-conceived community plan. Every community has its share of visitors and accommodating them sensibly is an important part of local planning. The B&B is a natural solution to a common problem.
Bed and Breakfasts are CULTURALLY IMPORTANT and UNIQUE!
But this is much more than just a sensible way to accommodate temporary guests. Bed And Breakfasts have their own individual charms. By the nature of the B&B, each destination is truly unique. Unlike “cookie cutter” hotel and motel chains which homogenize hospitality into a bland common denominator, B&Bs are often very distinct from one another.
The key ingredients of a memorable Bed And Breakfast stay are location, the home, and the hosts. Any one of these traits can easily separate one B&B from another, but when all of the elements are provided with quality and personal care, there are not enough stars to measure such an experience! For this reason, many travellers are switching to Bed And Breakfasts for their accommodation needs.
EVERY traveller can support LOCAL ECONOMY!
By decentralizing the temporary accommodation needs of a community, overhead typically required to operate a hotel or motel is significantly reduced, if not completely eliminated, by the Bed And Breakfast! That’s not to say that B&Bs are perfect for all guests, but it is to say that every traveller who values supporting local economy, has the powerful opportunity to vote with their dollars in a way that truly counts!
