Recent Publicity

Our Christmas release, featuring holiday open houses and other special programs arranged by many of our member inns, got a wonderful response. Frommers.com sent the story to their 500,000 subscribers.

First for Women, a magazine with a 2.1 million circulation, published an article entitled "B&Bs Are The Place To Be," quoting the BedandBreakfast.com survey (08/2002) noting an 7.9 percent overall occupancy increase at B&Bs since 9/11. November, 2002..

BedandBreakfast.com is listed under lodging consumer sites of choice on AOL Personal Finance, with a circulation of over two million.

About.com links to BedandBreakfast.com both for on-going specials, listed on regional basis, as well as holiday specials, such as the Thanksgiving press release. American Woman Road & Travel does as well.

Michael Shapiro, writing for the Detroit Free Press recommends five top lodging sites; BedandBreakfast.com is the only B&B site described. This same article also ran in the Honolulu Advertiser, and elsewhere.

American Iron Magazine, "for people who love Harley-Davidsons," has a lengthy article about using the Internet to plan trips. Author John Dwyier writes: "When I'm on the road, I prefer to stay at a B&B or camp out," recommending B&Bs for local flavor and area information. He recommends BedandBreakfast.com for checking out B&Bs rates and pictures. December, 2002
