-- Who files/collects the tourist, sales, occupancy taxes, etc?

There are several issues at play IMO:1 - Increased Supply - I would not quite say saturation (at least here) but higher supply means more options to guests and lower prices.2 - Lower Demand - General Economic conditions coupled with high airfare cost and airfare hassle etc affecting demand.Luckily for us FL is growing and has a strong historic tourist economy.

I don't operate in a ski town, but got a lot of people who wanted to be here but couldn't pay tourist town rates! 

Share the address Ha okayhttps://www.zillow.com/homedet...https://abnb.me/3YuqswZTJvb Seems so far from where tourist would want to stay. 

Theory being tourists wanting to visit D.C. could stay in Cumberland and still have easy access to D.C. without the expense of the city.

And, more closely related AirBNB, "Airbnb paid a tourist $7 million after she was allegedly raped in a Manhattan rental — a massive payout that is part of the firm’s widespread push to hide such shocking incidents, a new report claims.The stunning sum doled out over the previously unreported alleged crime is just part of an estimated annual $50 million that the vacation company coughs up to pay guests in legal settlements and to cover damage to hosts’ homes, according to Bloomberg."

Then the local govmit gets wind of it and low and behold they start to outlaw them. this will happen I bet in non tourist neighborhoods..  

Worked long ago in the service industry in a waterfront tourist town which catered to an eclectic crowd.

It really depends on the market and to a large part whether it is an urban market or a tourist destination.   

Yet, I'm not sure that buying real estate in a foreign country is the right thing to do as an adventure so your decision to hold off on that makes sense, given your specific circumstances.Most people who are looking to buy properties in Mexico and reach out to me for help do so after they've come back from a trip/stay in Mexico because they can see for their own eyes what's going on and can figure out what's going to happen there and they want a piece of the action.Once you get to Puerto Vallarta and the Riviera Nayarit, you'll witness with your own eyes the ever growing hordes of tourists and remote workers.
