Hopefully they start to reopen June 1 but I am concerned at how long it will take all the supporting business (restaurants, PMs, housekeepers, etc.) to staff up to really support the tourism influx once it comes.

There has been an uptick in outdoor recreation-based tourism there over the past few years (many of Colorado's 14ers are nearby), but the economy is still largely dependent on the Climax mine, which is dependent on the global demand for steel so it experiences large boom and bust cycles.

I would not be too quick to judge the recovery of the tourism industry on the island until the season gets into full-swing.

I'm buy and hold with Vassar Hospital, Marist expansion and tourism; it will be a good rental.

The rising gas prices and inflation slowed down tourism for the summer of 2022 and we did not meet our projections.

I totally agree about Airbnb saturation, and with Tripadvisors'/Flipkey's massive customer service issues on both the renter and owner side, not having a solid property management company in place could be devastating.That being said, nothing can replace natural beauty, ease of travel to and from is incredibly easy from anywhere on the east coast, so the allure will remain.One thing I will say that would most certainly and quite seriously hamper tourism in PR, and pretty much most of the Caribbean, a lifted embargo with Cuba.

We get a bit of tourism in Bend Oregon and Im in a nice part of town across from a big park, so I think there may be a good opportunity to do vacation rentals.

Study vacation rental markets, find one with a long history of tourism, and where regulations are already in place (opposite of Nashville where I also used to try to do STR :) )  3.

But it sat on the market because it was listed too high and we were in the middle of a pandemic and tourism to Costa Rica had lowered quite a bit.  

As Ryan said, we have quite a few STR only communities with amenities and locations that are made for tourism and are zoned specifically for rentals.
