How To Develop, Market & Operate A Bed & Breakfast or Small Inn

OVER A YEAR IN DEVELOPMENT!

What started out as a rewrite of my first book -
"How To Open & Operate A Successful Bed & Breakfast Business",
ended up as an ENTIRELY NEW MANUAL and took over a year to complete.

"How To Develop, Market & Operate A Bed & Breakfast or Small Inn"
by Drew Dimond

That's because so much has changed since the first book was published in 1990. The U.S. B&B Industry was just emerging. Few of the "how to" books went beyond " how to be the perfect host." Technology, the Internet, and travel patterns have changed.

Whether you're considering the purchase, renovation, or construction of a B&B or small inn, this manual will take you step-by-step and chronologically through a greatly expanded version of my first book.
