The oldest and most prestigious B&B vote program in the world, guests may now vote for any bed and breakfast in over 80 categories on LanierBB.com, all votes tallied and winners announced at the beginning of each year in Lanier's print guide, The Complete Guide to Bed & Breakfasts, Inns and Guesthouses International, award-wining website, newsletters and with press affiliates.


Congratulations to The Heartstone Inn and Cottages in Arkansas voted the 2010 Inn of the Year by guests!  The remaining categories will be announced this week, be sure to keep your eye out for this year's lucky winners.

Now's the time to start tallying those votes again.  Let your members know that they too can be LanierBB.com's Inn of the Year for 2011 by having guests send in votes!  We look forward to a fabulous year for the B&B industry.

Here at Lanier Publishing we are forecasting a solid return to stronger business for inns in most parts of the county in 2010.  According to Ypartnership, this year drive to vacations and mid priced accommodations will all be hot. And the good news is "the majority of adults in the U.S. - 53 percent according to travelhorizons - are planning to take at least one overnight trip primarily for leisure purposes between now and April of 2010....  Demand for leisure travel services will retain the greatest upside potential, yet only those travel services suppliers who deliver what consumers deem to be excellent value will win the battle for share."  We believe inns offer the absolute best value potential in the market.
