Become A Member

The LBBA directory is published annually and is the State's response piece to all B&B inquiries. This directory is distributed to all CVB's and certified Welcome centers. As a member you receive a FREE listing in the directory which includes a full color picture and a brief description of your property. Members are also offered the benefit of buying additional advertising space to highlight your property in the directory.

LBBA is constantly researching advertising programs that will benefit our members. LBBA works closely with the Louisiana Office of Tourism and the Louisiana Travel Association taking advantage of media buy-ins offered to our peers. Examples of this benefit include co-op ads in the Louisiana Attractions Guide, travel expeditions and digital media. Additional cooperative advertising is offered for trade shows and festivals where members of LBBA buy into a booth to showcase their property.

As a member of LBBA your property is featured on www.louisianabandb.com; your listing will feature a full color picture, description of your property, a link to your website and the ability to book online reservations through your reservations account. Members also have the ability to post specials and packages on the website at no additional cost.

LBBA helps to promote your inn by offering its members participation in several special marketing programs throughout the year. Examples of this can include cross marketing opportunities, cookbooks, coupon redemption, travel writer promotion and more.

LBBA partners with Louisiana Travel Association (LTA) to monitor and track proposed laws and regulations affecting our members and the tourism industry.

Networking opportunities at the Trade Shows and Meetings are a great place to talk with other B&B owners to network, discuss best practices and offer friendly advice. LBBA always encourages referrals among members.

LBBA publishes monthly newsletters directed to members (and sometimes non-members). These newsletters include a message from our President, news and important information from our Association Director, Advocacy and other information which may be of help to you as a member.

Member discounts are offered at all LBBA events
