Plymouth state University uses statistics from room and meals tax collection, surveys and other data. It is a known fact posted here and in NH Business Review, the state as a whole did not do as well as the surrounding states in increasing tourist revenue. NH revenue increase from last year was only 4% when ther other states showed 8% and more. Many hotels and restuarants have closed. I heard the Balsams Resort is closed.
PSU will not give statistics by region, but I heard in the LOB halls that room and meals collection this year is far below expectations.

NH Hospitality Assoc. and NH marine Trade Assoc. have not made comments about the economy since the SL debates. This make you wonder what Mclear and Thurston who are the principals are trying to hide.
