So, I've seen some rather derrogatory comments here about PAII, particularly with their handling of B&B's for Vets program. Put yourself in their shoes for a minute - trying to please everyone. Oh, wait...we DO try to please eveyone! Just like we try to appeal to our guests and potential guests, PAII has to walk that line, too.
First and foremost, though, they have to keep in mind their members and what's best for them. Remember them? The people who are paying to be members of the association so that they can benefit from it. If I'm paying for my PAII membership why would I think it would be fair for non-members to get the same benefits? I don't! Would you pay for B&Bdotcom if every time a potential guest looked up your zip code your neighbor's property was there and they didn't pay for a membership? Remember the motto, "Membership has its privileges"?
PAII has made it very simple and SO affordable to belong! What other organization can you belong to for $89? No place that I know of. Well, ok, my Costco membership is a little less than that.
PAII has handled some other very delicate issues lately with extreme professionalism. And, we've got no idea what's going on behind the scenes that we don't even see. I belong to PAII for the countless resources, the advocacy, the comradere - goodness knows I can't run this business by myself!
That's just my 2 cents..getting down off of soapbox now.
