It's very apparent to me you've never owned a tourist business! You rely on numbers and not what happens in real life.

Anybody can stay in business when the picking is easy. The hard part is to survive the lean months. Try paying the weekly bills when there is nothing in the cash register let alone pay the help. Oh yeah, you've saved so much during those summer months to cover the lean ones. :S

Those numbers as you put it, are tabulations of real life.

The argument had strayed as usual into the realm of the "if it wasnt for us snowbirds" banter, and the article was put up as proof of that premise. I simply pointed out that the article actually showed otherwise via hiring peaks and valleys.

As for your issue, all I can say is that my life experience has taught me to never start business in a market that was seasonal if I needed it to be a full time revenue generator. I guess you didnt get that memo. Shame.
