Start your own bed and breakfast

Buy a run down house and do it up for a bed and breakfast establishment or update your existing home and create a separate private area for guests. Provide a sightseeing service for a small fee and consider other added value items you can add to your service to make it special.

Market your B&B in tourist magazines, local and online travel agencies, travel websites, create accounts in social networking sites like Facebook or Twitter, and set up a website where customers can do online reservations.

Offer cheaper weekday packages and special weekend packages with all inclusive. Demonstrate the benefits of a stay with you over your competitor.
