It's a great trend to see ANY kind of development right now...remember we do NOT compete with hotels..

You don't...none of you do...but you continue to think you do which is why there is so much banging of the heads on the walls going on!
Chicken Little was so convinced the sky was falling that guess what...IT FELL!

This is simply untrue - of all the events we have that happen in this county, like the multimillion dollar economy jackpot called Bassmasters "Blue Ridge Brawl" Tournie - we do not, and have not ever had one booking for this. We have signed up to be on the promotion. So I guess in that you are correct, there is no competition as we do not exist for this sort of event that draws in thousands on people.
Please do not say I am chicken little, as it is this B&B barely makes ends meet for us. So please don't throw salt on the wound.

Joey,
Absolutely NOT calling you "Chicken Little", simply making an analogy. And you certainly don't need to tell me about making ends meet. But I am not sitting here counting new hotel rooms in our area and meditating on how that's going to do me in. I'm seeing new development as a sign of a recovering economy, and a renewed interest in travel. Those are great things.
If any b&b is relying on simply getting guests by being the only choice available then that wasn't a great marketing strategy to begin with. I just wish everyone would take an assessment of THEIR property's strengths...obviously you thought there was something unique and special about your property that made you fall in love with it...THAT is what you need to sell your guests. It's frustrating to see so many people spinning their wheels and chasing the next "trend". It's such a waste of time.
That was my only point. If we sit here and concentrate on how the big bad hotels will be the end of us, then they will be the end of us. I'll be focusing my energies on what I can control.
