Default Tourism and boating

If the god almighty Winfabs claims tourism went through the roof, then why did PSC claim that tourism is down about 40% since its peak in 2005? Why did tourism was up 3% last year when neighboring Maine was up 14%. Facts speak louder than words, but god almighty Rusty Mclear, the ruling king of NH Tourism will not allow his industry to speak the truth? I am friends with a number of folks in the hospitality industry and they are all hurting. The would love to speak against the SL King but they fear reprisal.

If Boating is good, how come according to nh.gov boating registration been on a decline since 2005? It use to be slips were hard to find. This spring every marina on the lake has slips available. LADASUN and the Citizen are advertising private slips available. Last time marinas spoke against the SL, there was a huge split in the NH Marine Trade Association. After that fiasco, marinas are taking a neutral stanch for SL.

Summer camp enrollment is way down not because of speed, it is because of our litigious society. Litigation insurance hit the roof and camp fees became unbearable to those who really want to send their kids to camp. How came the camp directors won't speak the truth? That I am trying yo find the answer. They certainly not speaking for themselves.
