Internet Intensives

BedandBreakfast.com and RezOvation have hosted more than 20 workshops for nearly 900 innkeepers in the past year, providing comprehensive information about Internet marketing, online reservations, yield management, and property management software. (For a full schedule of upcoming B&B conferences, please see our events calendar.)

About the Internet Intensive Workshops:
Innkeepers do an amazing job of creating welcoming environments for their guests, yet can be out of touch with guests’ needs and expectations, especially in the fast-changing world of the Internet and electronic communications. The Internet Intensive Workshop is the perfect opportunity for innkeepers to learn how to attract and retain today’s travelers. Members of the Gen X and Gen Y generations do everything online, by cell phone and computer, and this has a huge effect on their travel planning.

At the workshop, innkeepers will learn how to increase occupancy while using current software that allows them to do what they love best, taking care of their guests.

Here are the confirmed dates for Internet Intensives:

January 11-13 French Lick, IN, in conjunction with the Tri-State Conference.

Do you know of a good location for an Internet Intensive? We are more than happy to work with the state and national associations to bring more value to conferences by offering an Internet Intensive in conjunction with the kick-off of the conference. Please contact Sandy Soule at Sandy@BedandBreakfast.com if you'd like us to come to your state/regional conference, or if you'd like to host an Intensive.
