Join PRLA | PA Bed & Breakfast Inn (PABBI) Council

There is no greater source of inspiration than to be with other people who understand your challenges and opportunities. You can't afford not to join.

Credibility. A Quality Assured logo next to your B&B name conveys professionalism and best practices. Members receive a window cling "Proud Member of PABBI" that includes the quality assured logo. The PABBIQuality Assured Logo Quality Certification assures that your property has been inspected and meets all safety, cleanliness, and quality standards set forth by the industry. 

Advocacy: We have your back. PRLA & the PABBI Council works to ensure that there are no laws passed that would be detrimental to the growth of your small business. Every year, PRLA tracks a number of bills at both the State and Federal level that may have an impact on small businesses. When needed letters of support are written to state and congressional leadership about the financial need and liability protections for Bed and Breakfasts. Learn more about PABBI's advocacy efforts

Resources for Education. PRLA offers the latest industry news on a daily basis. The annual educational conference held every year in March offers educational sessions to help grow your business.  Visit the Mid Atlantic Innkeepers Conference website for more information.

Strength in Numbers. Get involved. Advocacy efforts are judged by the number of our members. The larger our base, the louder your voice and the more successful we'll be in protecting your interests. Join today! The price of membership equals one or two room nights annually. We need to work together to support our industry.

Networking. When you're connected to other like-minded entrepreneurs, you'll have a wealth of small business knowledge and experience to draw from when in need of advice for your own B&B/Inn. Our Mentor Mavens are available to assist you.
