David Blake

I am a researcher with a long-standing interest in tourism, hospitality, destination economics, and short-term rental markets. I spend much of my time analysing tourism demand, occupancy trends, ADR performance, supply growth, and investment opportunities across U.S. destination markets. My current research focuses on ski resort communities, national park gateway destinations, and other tourism-driven STR markets. Over the past year I have completed detailed market studies covering destinations including Breckenridge, Whitefish, Moab, Springdale, Bar Harbor, and Asheville. I am also the founder of Gateway Market Intelligence, a research business focused on providing data-driven STR and hospitality market analysis for investors, operators, and tourism professionals. Always interested in discussing tourism trends, destination economics, market selection, and the factors that drive long-term STR performance. Website: https://www.gatewaymarketintelligence.com
