Summer Plans in a Sagging Economy
By Laura Knoy on Friday, May 30, 2008.
High gas prices and a lagging economy could thwart Granite Staters’ plans for vacation and recreation. Some businesses will be hit hard, but others could possibly flourish as many choose to stay much closer to home. We’ll check in with New Hampshire’s hotels, restaurants, marinas, and campgrounds to ask how they’re holding up.

Gas offers

The gas offers you heard businesses offering who called in to the show today are all available on the state tourism website. There are many offers from all parts of the state along with a list of green activities. It's a pretty helpful resource for NH residents considering an overnighter or weekend stay here at home!

NH residents would be greatly helped by knowing about NH made products and produce. Maple syrup, farm produce, wine, beer, crafts, etc, are all things that could help spur tourism from within (as opposed from outisde) the state. It's all about New Hampshire pride!
