  • Advance Booking Discount
    - We offer a 10% discount off our tour prices for advance bookings. This helps us get a better idea on the volume of our expected business for the season - which is a real bonus in planning out our touring agenda. This is also a great deal for those customers who are planning ahead.

  • Alcoholic Beverage Liability
    - Before serving your guests that complimentary glass of wine or hot buttered rum, check with your insurance company regarding your liability. In my area, a special policy is required to cover any problems that might arise from serving liquor. My guests may bring their own wine, however, and I can provide glasses, etc. without incurring any liability.

  • Can You Afford to Open a B&B?
    - B&B operators should take great care in their approach to business operations if they decide to convert a large property into a bed and breakfast. They are not likely to realize any profit for the first few years of operation. Revenue Canada will not let them offset any losses arising from business use of home premises against other sources of income. Examples include: heat, electricity, insurance, maintenance, mortgage interest, property taxes, etc. You will have to do a cost benefit analysis before deciding if you can afford to actually live in your B&B. You can beat the system by listing your address at a parent's or relative's home (illegal) or if you maintain a section of the property for your personal use from which you cannot access the rest of your property without going outdoors. Sounds silly, but it is the law (in Canada).

  • Car Insurance
    - Don't volunteer to drive guests anywhere unless your vehicle is insured for such outings. You may get a Christmas card if all goes well. You will get a lawsuit if it doesn't.

  • Credit Card Confirmation?
    - If you take a credit card for confirmation, then don't request payment when the guests arrive. The honest ones will know that you are most interested in serving them and the dishonest ones will pay you anyway if they try to leave without telling you. Most of our guests are honestly surprised and pleased that they don't have to pay until checking out.
