If you think like a New Englander, the summer here is outdoors, outdoor dining, outdoor family gatherings outside, golf, walking, etc. All that comes to an end between October and November. Why the South was late in getting the virus outbreak is that the summer airconditioned indoors had not hit, as most of the virus spread in the north was during February and March, which was unusually cold and indoors. So thinking through, winter in the north will be indoors, no outdoor activities and the south will be outdoors and warm, with outdoor dining.
I would infer that those that have the ability to drive down for their winter in TV will still come. They will be able to take walks, outdoor at home dining, and some outdoor dining restaurants. . .
international may not come, but not for wanting, for borders closed or limited insurance coverage. Our property manager has said that the winter rental bookings are delayed, waiting on the outcomes of the virus status. But as more people adjust, the risk will drop in the south, and will increase in the north with heating and more indoor time and boredom.
Now i don't predict 100% of the renters, but the snow bird owners will be back, and greater than 50% of the renters will be back. This is my prediction, forecast, etc. This prediction is not a fact, facts are historical, and the future hasn't arrived yet. So there is not way to prove or disprove my prediction at this point in time. You may have a different prediction, but I am not wrong yet, so what is your prediction?
