With the official arrival of summer last Friday — and the July Fourth holiday next week — Maine’s summer tourist season is shifting into high gear.
The Maine Office of Tourism recently completed a new strategic plan for bringing more visitors to the state, and a report showed the number who visited in 2018 was at a five-year high of 37.1 million. But that total was barely 1% more than the 2017 one. And as consumers increasingly seek out new types of travel, often including new experiences and “impulse trips,” MOT says the state must differentiate itself in the highly competitive tourism market.
Tourism is one of Maine’s largest industries, with visitors spending an estimated $6.2 billion in Maine last year and supporting jobs for 110,000 residents. With so much at stake over the next few months for so many businesses, Mainebiz wants to know your predictions for the coming season.
