Empire State Bed and Breakfast Association (ESBBA) is the New York State association that represents the 11 tourism regions of the State. It's a member-driven organization that provides increased visibility and marketing power for member businesses, tools for learning, and opportunities for innkeeper relaxation, rejuvenation and networking. All at an affordable price.

ESBBA - Marketing for your business:

2. You are in control of your listing on www.esbba.com. Login to make updates to your listing.
3. Over 25,000 full color Empire State Bed and Breakfast Association brochures are distributed yearly. The dues of members pay for display rights at visitor centers along the major interstates and highway in NYS. Member inns hand out thousands of brochures to guests and major tourist attractions in NYS display the brochure as free handouts.
4. The ESBBA Gift Certificate Program is marketed to thousands of businesses. Gift certificates are the largest and fastest growing segment in the corporate gift/incentive marketplace. Empire State Bed and Breakfast Association utilizes the promotional tools of a well known professional gift certificate company--Certifichecks. Certifichecks gift certificates are available for purchase on the ESBBA website. Each gift certificate sold is packaged with a list of ESBBA members and earns ESBBA a commission to offset the price of the program.
