.- Tourism and Hospitality Businesses: Some local forum post mention that Cookeville has a strong tourism and hospitality industry, which could drive demand for furnished short-term rentals and extended stay hotelsI also checked to see what other listings are available and found about 4 comparable listings ranging from $1300-1500/month.

Tourism's Resilience: The tourism sector has historically bounced back from economic downturns.

I'm not talking about a location based on tourism where zoning allows for STRs, hotels and they have existed there for decades.I'm talking about residential zoned areas.

I understand that you want to look for a place with year round tourism, growing tourism stats, favorable STR regulations, etc.

Branson being a very high tourism area, I believe, understands the need and importance for STR.

Decades of regional tourism and STR-friendly regulations. 

Diverse Economy**: Mobile's economy thrives on a diverse range of industries, including aerospace, maritime, healthcare, manufacturing, and tourism.

American corporations are investing billions into the country, its real estate, tourism and manufacturing.

We've long been beneficiaries of logistics/e-commerce but we're becoming a serious tourism town as well.

@Alexei Amelenko tourism is certainly booming!
