Key Factors Driving Travel Behavior in the Bed & Breakfast Industry
New York, NY (PRWEB) June 04, 2014 -- BnBFinder.com, the world’s most comprehensive independently owned bed and breakfast directory is celebrating its 15 Year Anniversary this month. To mark the momentous milestone, the online directory and marketing search engine introduces its 2014 infographic highlighting consumer trends in the Bed and Breakfast and travel industry.
The infographic begins with catalyst drivers for travelers, and reveals Consumer Reviews and certain Package Incentives like culinary offerings to be most important when deciding where to stay. Next the infographic explores important amenities and B&B offerings to sway the traveler to their property. Always, think B&B’s have shared bathrooms? So did many of our subscribers according to our statistics. Think social interactions between guests was a negative for B&Bs? In fact, that is the leading reason travelers decide to choose B&Bs over hotel accommodations.
“Our infographic shows that travelers have a strong affinity for staying at true B&Bs and inns” says Mary White, CEO and Founder of BnBFinder and author of Running a Bed & Breakfast For Dummies. “As you can imagine, in 15 years the industry and the technological landscape has changed so much. Many use 'BnB' in their name and this infographic helps us know what drives consumers to stay at certain properties, and we can use that information to market our services even better over the next 15 years.”
