Tourism saw nearly 1 million visitors last year.

In 2008 tourism went down 13% or so. 

The Twin Cities are not a high tourism or travel area.

My name is Ingrid Renneberg and I'm a Kiwi currently living and working in Hanoi, Vietnam. 

This ruling seemed outrageous to me (and many others) in a location where STRs/tourism is so prevalent.

My area is susceptible to hurricanes and is influenced by tourism, and I'd like to get into a few different markets over the next few years. 

There is a good amount of tourism and you are likely to have low occupancy if you price the unit right and have a location closer to the beach. 

Clearwater is a strong tourism market so maybe even turn it into a vacation rental 

So we followed a tried and true method of REI (buy a multi with an FHA) and our success was elevated by the high tourism traffic and high real estate appreciation rates in our area.

I like living in Burbank, but the properties are really expensive and due to the tourism in the area it seems that that would be a decent vacation area which I am not ready to work with yet.
