Bed and breakfasts aren't just for romantic getaways and many not only accommodate families, they welcome them. LanierBB.com offers a special amenity search to help our online readers find the perfect B&B destination for their family vacation. As with all of our amenities, inclusion is a free member benefit.

Another Lanier marketing opportunity is for inns to place their B&B in front of thousands of family visitors searching specifically for properties that welcome and encourage families. Rated the #1 Family Travel resource in a tie with Disney by Access Magazine, FamilyTravelGuides.com is Lanier's sister directory (12 years online and in print), currently #1 referred website in Google for "family lodging."
 
In anticipation of summer bookings, we are offering our member Inns, and only our member Inns, the opportunity to be featured on Family Travel Guides for 1/2 the price that regular hotels pay for the service.  This offer will expire on May 31st, 2009.

Your members can use our secure, online form found here, or they can call Vivian Sturdavant directly at 707-763-2116. Be sure they mention promotion ftgmay3109 to receive 50% off their Family Travel Guides membership.
