Banks Bed and Breakfast is the first bed and breakfast to become a Certified North Carolina Destination Business. Banks Bed and Breakfast is the only 1897 historic stay located on North Carolina’s first paved highway. As a Destination Business, Banks Bed and Breakfast joins the list of many wonderful Main Street businesses across the state who focused on their brands, products, and services to bring their uniqueness into the forefront. Training goals support the ability to enrich the visitor experience, attract new customers and enhance the economic vitality of the region.
Banks Bed and Breakfast, in Garner, N.C. has been named a Certified North Carolina Destination Business by the North Carolina Main Street and Rural Planning Center (NCMSRPC). The Certified Destination Business initiative was a continuation in part from the Main-to-Main Trail virtual tourism platform which received partial funding from the federal Economic Development Administration grant as part of Covid-19 recovery. Joining together, the NCMSRPC and The Schallert Group worked with select business owners to instruct them in how to market their uniqueness as a destination business.
This statewide Main Street process trains businesses to visualize, conceptualize and work on ways to attract new customers that help bolster local economies. In addition the Destination Certification helps connect 72 Main Street Communities together which is highlighted on the Main-to-Main Trail virtual tourism platform.
