Learn How to Open and Run a
B&B in Mexico
Entrepreneurs
are invited to learn how to own,
run, or manage a B&B in Mexico. This Seminar
is geared to aspiring innkeepers, innsitters and
B&B managers. It is an entry level course with
quality time arranged for class, questions and
field trip outings.
There is a growing trend among Americans opening
B&Bs in foreign countries. These entrepreneurs
have found a niche for service to US travelers who
want a foreign country experience but have
insecurities when an
unfamiliar language is spoken.
Farmhouses, villas, chateaus, haciendas and other
historic buildings are being renovated and used as
B&Bs by Americans with a spirit of adventure.
Some of these US innkeepers have chosen to retire
to their new country; many are looking for a
long-term stay in a new culture and traditions.
