Alaa's take on Tampa
“Tampa Bay splits into two businesses: city stays around Gasparilla, Spring Training and sports, and beach stays in St. Pete Beach and Clearwater. Winter is strong across both, and snowbirds are a real segment. What I watch most is the balance between monthly snowbird bookings and the higher short-stay rates around January to April events.”
