Whatever the reasons, Bed and Breakfast is growing exponentially around the world, but unfortunately many people are entering the business without much knowledge of what it entails. Some people open a B&B with no business background thinking it is not really a 'business' and mistakenly feel that running one is really a 'no brainer'. As one author has written, "The difficulty of starting a B&B is often overlooked because of the emotional appeal and romantic notions that surround the subject."
If you are considering opening a B&B, investigate it fully by reading books, attending B&B seminars and talking to established B&Bs. By doing this you will find out if B&B is really for you or just a 'dream'.
