person in active control of the management of any Hotel, Cottage,
Cottage Colony, Inn, Cabin Colony,
Tourist Home, Motel, or Bed and Breakfast, and earning revenue through
the operation of such tourist accommodation.
Although we recently came across the
following definition on the website for
The Beall Mansion Bed & Breakfast in Alton Illinois, which we
feel is a better explanation....
Definition

bit of magic,
ii) Someone who works 18 hours a day 7 days a week so they don't have
to work a 9 to 5 job,
iii) Someone who gets to live in a house they can't afford,
