It amazes me how much random transient travel it gets(bowling tournaments, pawn shop remodels, manufacturing employees, traveling photographers, etc). 

Maybe we can set up a joust tournament in here.

They are people who have planned trips like family reunions, church events, baseball tournaments, etc.

It started in Augusta, GA due to homeowners wanting to rent their homes out over the golf tournaments yet didn't want to be taxed.

So now when they travel to Paducah KY for their kids traveling sports tournament, they are searching out Airbnb's instead of the Hampton Inn, in a town no one thinks of as an Airbnb hotspot.For work travel I'll stay in a hotel, but for ANY and ALL family travel, there's no way I'm giving up having a separate room for each of my kids.My mountain market revenue is flat-ish to up, but that's because I took over management from a PM and was able to do a much better job, so it's hard to get a pulse on my local market.

@Ruben VanDusen to help you understand my answer let me ask you, do you think Tiger W. only went out hitting golf balls when on a tournament?

We liked the TL home and nice lakefront view but here are some cons: pretty far/isolated, no real dining options outside and besides the music festivals/BNP tournament, didn't know if it would do well as a STR. 

Started chirping them at the squash tournament.

We are a huge sports town and host tons of sporting events - Indy 500, all our professional teams, NCAA, Big Ten tournaments, etc. 

Hi Adelaide,For STR - you are going to get most of your business from all the sports events -- racing - Indy 500, football -Colts, NBA - Pacers, WNBA - Fever (Caitlyn Clark), We just hosted the Olympics swim trials, other events include Big Ten Championships, NCAA tournaments (NCAA headquarters here), and the Combine (recruitment for NFL).We also have a pretty busy convention center -- not huge like Vegas or Orlando, but it is solidly booked year round with events like ComiCon, GenCon, Firefighters Association, Future Farmers of America, Candy Expo, and various others.For MTR, you are looking mostly at traveling nurses and medical personnel, you also may get contract workers for the larger corporations like Lilly, Sales Force, or Rolls Royce.Happy to hop on a call and discuss further.
