There is a shocking amount of tourism there and young adults travel from around the county and the world to work at amusement parks and water parks in the area because the companies provide internships and work visas.

That is to be expected given that vaccinations for Covid 19 are on the rise nationwide and the tourism industry opening up.

best guide you.I service the Chattanooga, TN market, which has a strong tourism industry and many STRs that do quite well (plus it's a fun place to visit!).   

Is it a town trying to outlaw and get to the 30-day minimum or is it more of a vacation area that is built on tourism and welcomes the STR as a business opportunity for the town.

That is one of the reasons why Las Vegas and Florida didn't crash due to lack of tourism.

There are a number of considerations for buying including: acquisition costs, occupancy rates & area tourism or desirability, regulations, taxes, boots on the ground options "The Team" with maintenance, cleaning, groundskeeping, HOA costs... so that being said, Poconos area properties come with their own set of challenges no doubt. 

Also look for diverse economies, I’m in Wilmington and we’ve seen tremendous growth in FinTech, Bio/Pharma/CRO and other non-tourism, non-film industries.

I have heard of successful STRs in that area, but there's not a lot of tourism or travel to that area, aside from mid-length stays from the Army at Fort Lee.

Looking right now in the heart of the major tourism destinations is most likely looking at overpriced real estate.

But at the same time, places that are heavy to STR, are places that rely on tourism to survive.
