I have a B&B in Ushuaia, and I would like to improve the services we give to American customers. I wonder if I could me describe what is expected an American from Bead and breakfast service, I mean what they expect conceptually speaking.
Thank you very much

Hi,

My name is Mike and my wife Judy and I are avid motorcyclists touring all over the US. We are developing a website about motorcycle touring and wish to put together a page about B&B's since B&B's are where we like to stay while riding. If you have a B&B and cater to motorcyclists please stop by our site. If you like what you see and wish to be included on our future page about B&B's please contact us through our contact page.

Thanks again and keep up the good work, we love all the great places, food and hospitality that B&B's offer.

Hi All,

I saw an interesting blurb in today's local paper. One of our residents recently formed a "Bed and Bale". A Bed and Bale is a Bed and Breakfast Inn that has a place for horses as well as people.

No news yet on how successuful he'll be.

An article by Kit Cassingham in the May issue stated that one should find their niche in the bed & breakfast industry and hone in on it. Concentrating on the narrow niche that interests the innkeeper will make them more successful.

From "Ask Kit!":
Q: I’m putting together a plan for a small hotel, cabanas style, in the Yucatan peninsula. I know the occupancy rate is good, I know this is the type of hotel that is prevalent in the area, but how do I find out what type of people will be interested in a place like mine? Who is the target market?

From "Ask Kit!":
Q: Thanks for "pushing" me out of my comfort zone. You are right about me being unable to define the people I would like to have in my B&B, the reason is: I do not believe people have to be exactly like me to enjoy what I have to offer.

Q: One niche we want to cater to is the large gay market that has been underserved and not marketed to. What can you share about that?
