GSA Feedback:

“Interesting look at pandemic’s impact on tourism with measurement. Helpful to use to start to think where NH stands. NH continues to be a draw and fare better than other New England states.”
 
“Mark has done a good job breaking down where tourism is, and going, in each of his presentations over the last year. Some of the numbers about the return to travel he presented nearly a year ago still hold.”
