What is the difference between "bed and breakfast" use and "tourist accommodation"?

Bed and breakfast use is very specific, and typically involves only certain rooms within a single-family dwelling. In the South Cowichan Zoning Bylaw, the use of bed and breakfast is limited to four rooms contained within the residence, and does not include the provision of cooking appliances for guest use. Tourist accommodation, however, can occur within "sleeping units". These tourist sleeping units may be contained within the principal residence, or may be located within separate buildings. Sleeping units may also contain cooking facilities (or they may not). Tourist accommodation encompasses a broader range of temporary accommodation, as opposed to bed and breakfast use which is narrowly defined.
