Canadian side was already quite successful with tourism before their casinos also, difference between the two sides was, US took the easy greedy corporate money route where Canada developed more slowly into the tourism field, one now thrives and other is ghost town dump.I wouldnt be willing to gamble a penny that the casinos will help anything locally.

We are rural and would depend more on the current regional tourism, local businesses, and local population than the model here.

Colorado Springs has a huge military presence that is relatively recession proof, and there's a big tourism industry and health care industry and several new developments that seem to be more resilient long-term.

Along w/ the military (essentially recession proof) and our tourism, Biotech & our downtown is set to explode via numerous development projects. 

During non-COVID times, Nashville is booming with tourism and requires a lot of STR.

With the inability to spend money at service industry related businesses — restaurants, leisure & hospitality, tourism, etc. — consumers are spending more on Goods (laptop, workout equipment, appliances, etc.) in addition to saving their money for the unknown.Online retail sales is a notable reference outlining the uptick in “Goods” spending with a +2.7% YOY increase in spending.(2)People are also spending more money fixing up their houses, which is putting strain on supply of materials pushing the price of lumber and other building material up.Austin’s Real Estate & Economic Landscape Doing Okay?

@Sungyong Kim When tourism returns in full force you'll probably want to STR through AirBNB to make more money.

Houses sell the best during the spring and early summer months and travel/tourism is pretty good year round but much better in the non-100 degree months.Since you're going to the midwest, properties are considerably cheaper and cashing out here can probably get you a few rental properties you can self-manage once you move.

Tourism will restart there fastest as well.

., but we have a somewhat different employment history than most: We both work seasonal tourism jobs.We spend summers working as Expedition Guides (on boats) in Alaska, which pays fairly well but only lasts for 4-5 months of the year.
