I am seeking a nice getaway to explore with my wife and was searching for a cool bed and breakfast within a few hours drive from Dallas...lots of one off sites came up in my generic search on Google but I was hoping to find a cool site that not only lists the B and B's but also give me options...low and behold...Pillows and Pancakes brought a mashup to my rescue. I didn't even know there were nicer b and b's close by...shows me how out of touch I am with this market segment.
Speaking of other market segments - DFW is at the cutting edge (maybe bleeding edge) of new resort properties being built. You may have seen articles in HotelMarketing about the amount of new Hotel/Waterparks being built all over the US. The Great Wolf Lodge is due to open in early 2008 (I am not responsible for the cheesy music on their site!).
I just found out about the new Bear Fire Resort which has broken ground North of Fort Worth, Texas. It is due to open in late 2009 and it boasts glaciers, gondolas, ski runs, half pipe and a world class spa...Did I just mention that this is TEXAS? Can you imagine a total ski-able area of an unbelievable 650,000 square feet?
Drive to destinations are the in thing....Waterparks, Ski resorts...what's next? Surfing resorts in Downtown Big D? Could happen - stay tuned.....
