B&B
Bed & Breakfasts are a new
alternative or not traditional modality of lodging. Currently
these kind of lodging are generally managed by their owners that
decide to destine it to lodge foreign tourists, preferably.
These houses are not simple houses, but generally are big houses
recycled, some of the 19th Century, with history or with a
typical architecture which does the interesting for the traveler.
Tourist that chooses a B&B to be lodged are not adept to the
large 5 stars hotel and to the conventional tours. Is more for
independent travelers, that dont buy tourist packages and that
visits a country for "feeling" as the local inhabitant. A
traveler who not worry about confort neither the facilities of
the lodging, he is interested more by knowing about the local
culture, the ways of life, experiences, etc.

The way to operate these Bed &
Breakfast has many different cases. Some of these lodging are
personal houses, where a family lives, that at the same time
shares the space with the guest. In other cases the house does
not have inhabitants, is destined completely for tourist but
likewise receives the name of B&B, because their offer bed and
breakfast. We have at the same time B&B modest, with generally
low rates, but also we can find us with exclusive lodgings in
magnificent large houses with an exclusive attention whose rate
is similar to 4 or 5 stars hotel. The possibilities of each B&B
will depend on if is a house with inhabitants or destined
totally the guests, the degree of importance and professionalism
that the owners want to give to the business, etc. We must keep
in mind that this type of lodging is more required by American
and European tourists, that are exactly the places where b&b
industry is more development. In Argentina the growth of Bed &
Breakfast is every day large, is a business of low investment
and redituable. The key of the business is the deal with the
guest. Many tourists already are tired to be lodged in 5 stars
hotel that are exactly equal so much in Argentina as in
Malaysia and of the impersonal deal in those hotels. The tourist
that lodges in a B&B search the personalized deal, to exchange
experiences with the local inhabitant, to see their customs,
etc. Therefore if one it is not a follower to the cordiality
with the guest, to enjoy a midnight chat better not to enter in
this business. A theme to keep in mind are the legal
requirements. In Argentina the B&B do not have still a legal
framework. Inside the Law of Tourist Lodging there is not
specifications for B&B. There are government laws for Bed &
Breakfast next to be approved, but in the meantime all depends
on the requirements and authorizations that arrange the
corresponding municipalities.
