As a profesisonal speaker from the mid-west, it is always enjoyable to arrive at a conference to find familiar faces and spend a few moments of personal time with good friends. I just returned from speaking at the annual Minnesota Bed & Breakfast Innkeepers Association’s conference and in many ways it was like old-home-week for myself and a couple of the other speakers.
One in particular was Chuck Andracchio from Tricor Insurance’s B&B Division. It is always good to see Chuck and catch-up on the latest B&B insurance news as well as bits of personal news. Well, on the business side, Chuck had a copy of a recent insurance related article where he was quoted. It is such a good piece, that I want to share it with all the innkeepers and inn travelers reading this blog. The article is titled: Growing a Niche in the Bed and Breakfast Industry. (Click on the title and it will take you to the piece.)
