Does a significant portion of your business center around tourism or some other industry?

Ever since Viet Nam, with enemy combatants - 14 year olds are just as deadly as 30 year olds. 14 years is pretty close to adulthood in that culture.

Tourism is the big business in Hawaii, so some other states/ cities may not charge the transient tax.

Jobs and tourism is at an all time high.

In addition, I'm also looking to get started with short term rentals, so a market that has a decent tourism is of importance as well.

When you start getting into Mission Hills, Hillcrest, North Park and such, the density of STRs just isn't as high, and the people buying there not behaving so speculatively on an STR business plan.Note also that running an STR business means exposure to tourism spending patterns - when less people travel, your business is impacted. 

During the Vietnam conflict, Americans took to the streets in protest and eventually helped stop the war.

Consider: 1. flying taxi (promised by Uber to be here within 5 years or less). 2. prefabs, containers and other structures delivered by air (in speedy fashion). 3. the distance from A to B via land traffic vs. air. 4. cities growing concern with financial cost of the abandoned land. 5. social mobility and tourism (social curiosity).

I know in my market, there is enough tourism that a property will rent almost equally as well whether it's in a resort HOA or a standalone property with no HOA.

Should a global recession occur, tourism will take a hit, along with the ability of foreign tourists to buy thousands of dollars of luxury brand handbags, etc.2.
