My impression is that military bases attract small businesses, large corporations (restaurant/hotel/shopping), retirement population, and even tourism.

I can't help but wonder, though, where the tourism voices are in many markets, as tourism dollars are often the lifeblood of many smaller towns.

Your big markets are conventions, downtown tourism, amusement parks, Lackland BMT.

I am curious to hear how much demand there is in Leavenworth/Chelan area for MTRs seeing as it's a pure tourism-driven market (there are no nearby hospitals, universities, military etc that might stay for work).

The other draw may be major urban areas that see high tourism like San Francisco or San Diego.

It is my understanding that tourism is the main source of income of the local people.

Market Selection - Prioritize proximity to national parks, tourism destinations, mountain markets and markets that are less seasonal.

Regardless, make sure your city and neighborhood that you are investing in have different types of STR travel demographics.For example, here in Tampa not only do we have theme park and beach tourism (#5 ranked beaches by TripAdvisor in the world in 2021), we have educational tourism (one of the largest universities - USF and then UT), and also medical tourism (we have some of the best hospitals in the country especially for outpatient services).

The property might be suitable for other agricultural ventures, eco-tourism, or even as a retreat center.Offer Detailed Information: Provide detailed information about the property, including its potential for development or conversion to other uses.

If you decide to invest there my 5 cents is do so in areas where there are a substantial number of americans like Ahiji in the state of jalisco or san miguel de allende in the state of guanajuato or more generally in tourism areas popular with americans because these areas bring them income these are the most protected areas of the country.
