Nashville has great tourism, great rental migration for work and appreciation generating property everywhere. 

It also makes me more comfortable.In order to answer these questions, I've come up with a few measures/ideas:-US bureau of economics travel and tourism satellites report the economic impact of tourism in their state.

For tourism, Anchorage is a destination, I would consider Palmer/hatchers pass a destination too, but not as much for Wasilla.

I started a boutique tourism magazine and travelled all over Australia for 4 years.

Also, Barcelona has outlawed short term rentals from Air BnB in order to control issues they've been having with tons of tourists, and they've been fining people for renting without permits:https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2017/aug/11/barcelona-spain-anti-tourism-protest-segway-banI believe renting your place out for longer than 31 days is possible, and there are property management companies that could help with that, but I just couldn't find anything in the area I wanted to be in that was less than 200,000 Euros.

I'm watching median home price, year over year, and tourism for vegas strip.

I want my investments to be in an area with a diverse job economy, population growth, jobs not based on tourism but in public and private sector, strong renting population and a reasonable point of purchase compared to what my tenant will be paying in rent.  

Here is the bottom line: Many Montana cities whose economy relies on tourism have regulated and/or banned new STR's.

Not to mention how close it is to the trade with Mexico.Katrina hit cities whose biggest  employers were hospitality and tourism.  

I look at the economy, which is casinos and tourism for Las Vegas.
