There is no greater source of inspiration than to be with other people who understand your challenges and opportunities. You can't afford not to join.
Credibility. A Quality Assured logo next to your B&B name conveys professionalism and best practices. Members receive a window cling "Proud Member of PABBI" that includes the quality assured logo. The PABBI
Quality Certification assures that your property has been inspected and meets all safety, cleanliness, and quality standards set forth by PABBI and the industry. Traveler reviews are checked by a quality review committee periodically and re-inspection occurs every three years.
Advocacy: We have your back. PABBI works to ensure that there are no laws passed that would be detrimental to the growth of your small business. Every year, PABBI tracks a number of bills at both the State and Federal level that may have an impact on small businesses. When needed PABBI supports and/or writes letters to state and congressional leadership about the financial need and liability protections for Bed and Breakfasts. PABBI is a participating member of the PA Restaurant & Lodging Association and the Tourism Coalition. The Tourism Coalition meets quarterly and brings together regional and state leaders within PA's hospitality industry to discuss advocacy initiatives, funding, and marketing of PA's tourism assets. Learn more about PABBI's advocacy efforts.
Resources for Education. Focused specifically on the B&B industry, PABBI offers the latest industry news, resources and professional development materials via a monthly member e-newsletter, a dedicated Facebook group, and an annual educational conference held every year in November offering educational sessions to help grow your business. Visit the Mid Atlantic Innkeepers Conference website for more information.
Strength in Numbers. Get involved. PABBI's advocacy efforts are judged by the number of our members. The larger our base, the louder your voice and the more successful we'll be in protecting your interests. Join today! The price of membership equals one or two room nights annually. We need to work together to support our industry.
Networking. When you're connected to other like-minded entrepreneurs, you'll have a wealth of small business knowledge and experience to draw from when in need of advice for your own B&B/Inn. Our Mentor Mavens are available to assist you.
