Emerging Tourist Destination in 5-10 years.

[Waylen Herdman]

We've all heard of the big dog tourist destinations like Myrtle Beach/Smokies/Miami/Destin/Pensacola/Nashville etc.... but what are some not so well known tourist destinations that may make a big splash in 5-10 years? I've heard and agree that Louisville, KY has the vibe of Nashville 10 years ago and some of us know the Nashville STR market is BOOMING right now. I may be a little bias because I work as a STR PM here in Nashville :).

What smaller cities do you think have a chance to becoming a decent area for STR in the not so distant future?

Humbolt TN - Tyson Foods is building a $220M facility there.

Coffeyville KS - Tyson Foods is evaluating a new facility here.

These are for STRs strictly for travelling workers for initial construction and ongoing maintenance.  There is no tourism industry in those 2 towns.  I should know, I live in the 2nd one.
