I attempted to find numbers on tourism and travel, only able to find a vague article suggesting it was increasing.

I'm in Pacific Beach where tourism is huge. 

There's several thousand cabins where i am, in a vacation-rental-only/tourism part of the world.

So if there is a worldwide or local downturn in tourism, they'll have to pay huge sums of money to the buyers, which they might not have.

@Hashim Jakvani There are a number of factors fueling the REI market here: Increased industry(tech and medical), tourism development, and property values.We have a strong working class population that has put housing in high demand.

Yosemite has very steady and growing international tourism numbers. 

- Tons of tourism- Easy going house guests choose a destination like JT; they just want to hike and relax!

Tourism is booming & architecture is very interesting.

Thanks so much.In high tourist areas it would kill alot of tourism so I can't imagine in The Destin, Fla area they would do that. 

Their algorithm will look at a homes in your area, but it's a broad area and not easily comparable.As far as rural areas, if there is any type sports tourism (software tournaments, soccer, etc.) you might be able to play that up.
