Around this time of year, locals and out-of-state travelers alike flock to Tybee Island for some fun in the sun.

As much as tourism is fueling the small island s economy, it s also increasingly stretching its resources, said City Manager Shawn Gillen. Tybee s proposed 2022 budget aims to leverage vacation rental demand to ease some of the burden by increasing the annual STVR vacation fees by $400.
