Places who rely on super wealthy folks like Jackson will be fine, and even tourist spots like Yellowstone, and ski resorts will be OK. 

PG is a great tourist spot so I’m sure you could easily find rentals.

It's quite a different situation because mine is riverfront and 10 minutes from Sequoia, it's designed to catch the tourist traffic passing through the town, but I'd be intrigued as to what sort of occupancy you'd get in Lindsay.  

Tourist are always visiting Dubai and need a nice place to stay.

Occupancy levels are high on the Panhandle  year round, especially since many tourist from the mid-land and southern states can drive here for their family vacation rather than having to fly like they would have to for some of the parts of FL further south.
