New Hampshire Tourism Industry Posts Strong Performance in 2006
July 7, 2006. An informal survey of businesses in the Mount Washington Valley of New Hampshire finds that neither high gasoline prices nor the threat of rainy weather are keeping visitors away, according to an article in the Union Leader.Many, although not all, businesses are reporting increases in visitors and revenues over 2005.
There are many desirable accommodations in New Hampshire, such as the vacation rentals we have in VacationRental.org for the White Mountain Area.
The article quotes many small inns, guest houses, vacation rentals, and hotels as saying that they have experienced a significant increase in business, as much as 35%, over a year ago. This is an encouraging trend for a very attraction vacation area. We like to get these reports. We report regularly on the national findings of Smith Travel Research on weekly and monthly lodging reports, but we also check the local reports of vacation areas such as this in giving our readers an ongoing assessment of trends in the vacation rental business. This article is additional evidence that it has been good year thus for for those of us in the business of renting mountain cabins, beach houses, rental cottages and luxury vacation villas.
