BED AND BREAKFAST BOOK AND SEMINARS

BY

Bruce and Mary Jaffary

THE BOOK

TO B&B OR NOT TO B&B

To B&B Or Not To B&B is not only a practical, hands-on guide to the day-to-day operation of a Bed and Breakfast but is an examination of what is involved and who is particularly well suited to it. Mixed in with the 'know how' are many interesting and amusing stories of B&Bs from our own experiences over the past nine years of B&Bing, which are lessons in themselves.

The Internet has created a revolution for B&B marketing. Operators using the Internet to actively market their B&Bs are now getting 70 to 80 percent of their bookings from this source. The book has extensive up-to-date information on how to utilize this marketing tool.

We have been asked if our book is a strictly Canadian reference - of course, the answer is 'no.' Hospitality knows no boundaries! Although there is some specific Canadian content, particularly details on Canada Select Star Rating and Tourism British Columbia Approval, the rest of our book is international in scope. Most states and countries have similar approval regulations and the detailed Canadian information will give readers in other countries an idea of what is or may be required in their area. We are very proud that we have shipped our book to 21 different countries and have had some wonderful comments from our readers.

BOOK REVIEWS

"I was just looking at your book and I think it is a terrific resource, full of definitive information." Pamela Lanier, Lanier Travel Guides. www.travelguides.com
 

"I especially enjoyed reading your examples from your own experience. It is very well written, informative and extremely useful for the aspiring innkeeper" -- Leeza Morris, International Bed and Breakfast Pages
 

"After taking one of Bruce and Mary's seminars we felt fully confident to open our B&B. Their book is an articulate, delightful, comprehensive guide to the functional art of creating a successful B&B - invaluable as an ongoing reference." -- Pat and Al Pearce, formerly Marigold House B&B.

"This book is a smart place to begin marketing your B&B on the Internet. Its information about developing and marketing your B&B's Web site is clear, concise and accurate. Bruce and Mary really make it easy." -- Trent Blizzard, Blizzard Internet Marketing

"We were a little surprised to read Bruce and Mary's book, as it is exactly the book we had wanted to write ourselves! After our few years' experience, it is easy to see they have it all covered, and no one should dream of starting in this business till they've read it cover to cover. It's a thoroughly enjoyable read, besides, and an excellent refresher for the rest of us." -- Rog & Jim, formerly owners of Toronto Downtown Bed & Breakfast and Moderators of Canada BB Hosts.

"As a former B&B owner myself and a teacher of B&B seminars in Alberta, I can highly recommend this book to anyone who is thinking of starting a bed and breakfast. Well written, informative, funny and very useful. I recommended it to my students." Elsa Peterson, formerly of Dickens Inn B&B.
