Tourism

There is a Yahoo group – vacation_rentals ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vacation_rentals) for discussion of vacation rental business. I used it extensively when I was setting up a vacation rental ( cabins ) business. The folks are very knowledgeable and the information is excellent.
Another site to check out for demographics and basic trends is Travel Industry Association ( www.tia.org) . There are a number of reports there- some are free- enough to get you started.
Another group I found helpful was the Small Business Administration. They have local groups and representatives at state colleges. They had tons of info.
If you are interested in bed and breakfasts – here is another link-www.businessplanworld.com/plan – there is free info at that site.
Good luck. I really enjoyed working with the tourism industry on a very small personal scale.
