Windsor, Ontario has partnered with us on many new initiatives aimed at making Detroit an international destination. 

Not a tourist destination, but very popular and is experiencing rapid growth.

I live in Asheville and am looking at STR in the Franklin area - agree with other posters that it's sort of between more desirable destinations, but also seems that the lower prices reflect that.

It remains a popular destination and has seen steady growth. 

There are neighborhoods such as Olivia Beach that allow STR usages outright as well as pockets with specific Commercial Tourist Zoning that are not subject to a waitlist.The other major change to a top STR destination was in Rockaway Beach Oregon.

Some investments give better ROI in Phx, such as multifamily, and some generally perform better in getaway destinations (Sedona), for STR's, etc. 

The Austin metro was among the hottest destinations in the country for where people were moving last year, according to the latest annual ranking from U-Haul International Inc.Austin ranked No. 5 among the top U.S. growth metros in 2024, and Texas was the No. 2 state for move-ins — bested from the top spot after three consecutive years by South Carolina, according to data released Jan. 2 and Jan. 3.The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area took the crown for the top growth metro in the recent list, followed by Charlotte, North Carolina (No. 2); Phoenix (No. 3); and, Lakeland, Florida (No. 4).

The demand for vacation rentals in places like Destin, 30A, and Panama City Beach remains strong.

Quote from @Collin Hays: I suspect that the Smokies is your best choice, simply because it is a year-round destination. 

In 1997, I don't fully understand why, the City of Denver paid the golf course owners $2mil to rezone this parcel as a "conservation easement" this was extremely restrictive zoning and meant it would essentially be destined to be a golf course for eternity 3.
