Some areas have held up pretty well but it's tough to say if that will continue when there are some really good deals in other areas that have been decimated in value.Also a couple of communities seem to have taken a recent hit in value with the uncertainty of once proposed area entertainment and shopping centers of ever being built...For Investment purposes, there are areas in Las Vegas that easily cash flow.However, the job market is not that good and the tourism numbers are showing no signs of improvement.

That figure equals what Mexico earns annually from tourism.

The tourism markets have been hit pretty hard and although Real Estate sales have slowed down, land prices and property values, have remained very stable.

The thing is that MGM owns a large portion of the strip hotels so they are, in effect, competing with themselves.Another note: The media likes to make it sound like Vegas tourism has slowed to a trickle.

A broker told me the florida market took a turn for the worst and not to invest in florida unless it is a reo, and that you would be better off waiting a year to try and get financing for properties most lenders are pullind lending max to LTV 65%.The BP oil spill did a number on the fishing and tourism.

I was in the tourism sector for years and still keep a toe in.

Sounds great for her, but I'm looking NOT at TOURISM related ...

@Curtis Collins Belize is certainly worth considering, as there is significant development taking place, a strong tourism industry, favorable ownership laws and all around beautiful country.

Especially now with MJ tourism. 

Alternatively, the Greenville area by Moosehead has some really nice areas (more mountainous), a consistent, if modest, year-round tourism economy, and is not much further up the road.
