LITTLETON — Business and Economic Affairs Commissioner Taylor Caswell returned to his hometown on Tuesday, June 18, with the good news that the significant growth is expected over the summer travel season. The BEA is projecting more than 3.6 million overnight visitors to the Granite State with spending nearing $1.9 billion.
Speaking at a podium set up inside the 2014 Riverwalk Covered Bridge that spans the Ammonoosuc River, Caswell noted that tourism is the state’s second-largest revenue generator. “Tourism is absolutely vital to our economy here,” he said. “Summer is our busiest travel season, representing more than 40 percent of our annual visitations.”
