From the Paper:

"We have also seen, however, through a telephone interview with a high-ranking official at the United States Bed and Breakfast Association, that the number of bed and breakfast establishments in the mid-Atlantic region decreased by over 25% in the previous four years, and that the main reason he could see for the failure of this number of businesses was a failure on the part of the owners to devote themselves, wholly and efficiently, to the setting up and day-to-day running of their bed and breakfast establishment."
