The PA Association of Bed & Breakfast Inns was initiated when a group of innkeepers gathered in State College in May 2011. This group of Innkeepers met frequently for about 18 months to write Bylaws, review our mission, decide on operational standards, and plot a course for this new association. Because PA stands second only to California in number of B&Bs in a state, PABBI’s volunteer Board of Directors saw the need and the potential strength of this group.
Mission:
The mission of PABBI is to elevate and grow the bed and breakfast industry in Pennsylvania by providing support, guidance, and education to innkeepers; building strong relationships with key industry leaders; and lobbying for state laws and codes that fairly deal with the needs of innkeepers and guests.
Vision:
To support Pennsylvania as a robust tourist destination by ensuring a strong, vibrant, top-quality bed and breakfast industry.
Purpose:
Pennsylvania Association of Bed and Breakfast Inns is dedicated to elevating the B&B industry in PA by providing:
- Education for Innkeepers
- Support of Innkeepers and the Tourism Industry
- Networking Opportunities
- Lobbying Efforts
- Setting Industry Standards
- Providing Public Awareness of B&Bs/Inns/Farm Stays
Quality Assured
The Pennsylvania Association of Bed & Breakfast Inns (PABBI) Quality Certification assures that the bed and breakfast 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.
