A week after the July Fourth holiday, Maine is now into its summer tourism season. 

Early predictions called for a strong summer. Acadia National Park, for example, has anticipated visitor levels on par with record-setters in 2021.

Most travel forecasts on the eve of Independence Day were also optimistic.

However, worker shortages continue. And gasoline prices, while less than their historic peaks around Memorial Day, are still high.

    Drive the turnpike from Kittery to Portland on a Friday afternoon and you will see that every state wants to be in Maine during the summer. If you love Maine in the summer, tell all the tourists how nice Vermont is!

    Lack of workers, expensive lodging, inflation and an impending recession are hampering tourism.
