Bed and Breakfasts work in New Orleans
New Orleans draws visitors all year, and a good share of them look for a small place to stay rather than a hotel tower. They search by neighbourhood, by the French Quarter, the Garden District, Marigny, the Bywater, and by what they want nearby, a streetcar line, a festival, a wedding venue. The guest houses and small inns here are mostly owner operators, often one house or a handful of rooms, and they compete for the same searches as the larger properties. Paid search in this trade is seasonal and concentrated around the big event weekends, which leaves the everyday searches for people planning further out. That is the demand a bed and breakfast can publish into.
