Wells, Somerset -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/24/2009 -- The Tourism industry is showing positive signs of coming out of the slump. Sales figures over the last quarter at thebandbdirectory.co.uk have shown that there has been an increase in the number of people placing adverts with the company to advertise their Bed and Breakfast properties for the next year or more. In fact, the most common advert sold is the 3 year long-term option, which gives the best value to the consumer, and also gets them 3 full years of advertising on the website which receives over 4 million hits per month and is listed on page 1 of Google.

This is very positive news for the company and the industry as a whole and it is hopefully set to continue over the next quarter and beyond as the country pulls out of the recession. The B & B Directory website currently has thousands of advertisers and is growing all the time as Guest House owners search for cost-effective methods of advertising their properties.

The B & B Directory, now in its sixth year, receives in excess of 4 million hits per month. You can view the site at http://www.thebandbdirectory.co.uk
