Your Smoky Mountain Investment Cabin: Our Smoky Mountain Guests, Part II
www.willquinn.com Now that you know why so many people regularly vacation in the Tennessee Smokies, who are these people? Our guests are Middle Class Americans. They run the gamut from hourly employees to doctors, lawyers and Indian chiefs. They relish every moment of vacation time they can grab and want the to get the most out of it. Therefore, their accommodations are a top priority. Until the early 1990’s, motels were the major choice of vacationers because that was what was available. Cabins were available in limited numbers, but in the 90’s the cabin development boom began in earnest and once motel frequenters experienced a cabin vacation, they were hooked. It’s easy to understand why. While everyone looks forward to their vacation, it’s still a stressful time. Here’s dad (frequently mom too- I’m not being sexist here) who have family contact a few hours a day during the week and a few more on weekends. On vacation, they’re together nearly 24 hours a day and a motel room doesn’t allow for much personal space while a cabin gives everyone some breathing room. Through the 90’s, the demand was so high that virtually any decent cabin performed well. But as supply caught up with demand the cabin market became very competitive and remains so.
