Join your fellow Innkeepers on an 7 day Cruise the week of January 18-25, 2009 for a memorable Marketing Cruise aboard the Norwegian Pearl to the Summy Caribbean..

Reserve early, so as to assure your participation in 2009!

Our 2009 seven-day Cruise will head south out of Miami to Roatan Island, Honduras; Belize City; Cozumel, Mexico and Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas.

Our Speakers this year include Pamela Lanier and her daughter Mariposa http://www.lanierbb.com/ Mariposa"s topic will be "Marketing to Gen X & Y" and will also talk about implementing social networking and other aspects of web 2.0. Pamela's topic will be "It's Easy (for innkeepers) To be Green", a comprehensive presentation on how to green your inn from top to bottom.

Also speaking will be the dynamic duo of Dominique Lavigeur and Robert Chiasson http://www.moka-pyjama.com Robert and Dominique are always so well informed and always so well received by our Innkeepers.

Our speakers will take part in a round-table discussion which is great, because these experts can help answer many of our questions on B&B operations and marketing, and this interests all of us.
