Interesting article, but it completely fails to address the more recent trend of what the British call 'buy-to-let' i.e. buy, furnish, put on AirBnB. Granted, it only applies to popular travel destinations, but it is also way more

Mind you this is by the same author who wrote : "The Netherlands: A Look At The World’s High-Tech Startup Capital" and half a dozen similar pieces. Often cringeworthy PR fluff written in tourist brochure style.
