Tourism Boosts Vermont Economy and Patriot Spirit
Vermont officials urge civic pride to aid the summer travel boom projecting 150 million dollars into the state economy this year. Local business staff from gas station attendants to merchants can serve as ambassadors, while tourism-promoting efforts expect 1966 to exceed 1965. Prince Hans Adam of Liechtenstein’s engagement is noted amid broader wartime defense industry impacts in New England with overtime, plant backlogs, and government contracts shaping employment.
