The seminar offers a weekend filled with important
information, offering insights and an understanding of all that buying, owning
and running a bed and breakfast entails. Included in the topics covered are
innkeeping basics such as trends and industry statistics; defining the inn that
meets your goals and needs; a due diligence process for buying and selecting an
inn; financing a purchase; developing business and marketing plans; and a look
at the day-to-day life of an innkeeper.

It’s going to be a jam-packed weekend of information. We
suggest that while you are at the inn, sneak in a little time for a relaxing
treatment in our Spa. Just the thing an innkeeper would really appreciate!

I would like to know when will you be hosting another seminar. Myself and 3 of my co-workers are looking to open our own B&B and will be visiting Inn’s and seminars as we continue our research. Thank you in advance.
