Tourism has been decimated.

It is sad that 36 people in the US have died from Covid-19.However, "About 2.9 million Chinese visitors entered the United States in 2018, according to the National Trade and Tourism Office"That means about 241,700 Chinese visitors a month.

.-  In addition, the travel and tourism industry in the US accounts for about $1.5T in GDP and nearly 8M jobs. 

It is sad to see such a booming hospitality & tourism town turn into a ghost town. 

Any place where tourism is the mass industry will have a tough year.

I understand that STVR licenses are being issued only within the tourism zoned areas. 

Regardless, make sure your city and neighborhood that you are investing in have different types of STR travel demographics.For example, here in Tampa not only do we have theme park and beach tourism (#5 ranked beaches by TripAdvisor in the world in 2021), we have educational tourism (one of the largest universities - USF and then UT), and also medical tourism (we have some of the best hospitals in the country especially for outpatient services).

If it does effect tourism you are looking at 90-120 days.

Think travel/tourism companies that have been hit hard (cruises, airlines, hotels, Disney, etc.).

Research more than just warm areas - Central Oregon for example has a tremendous amount of tourism, is beautiful but we have cold winters that bring in a lot of business for the winter months of vacation rentals because of our skiing. 3.
