Vermont Leads New England In Tourism Growth In 1962
Vermont led New England states in vacation travel in 1962 with tourism worth 135 million dollars. Travel spending rose five percent from 1961, driven by a strong ski season that brought about 30 million dollars into the state. Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine posted smaller gains while Rhode Island and Connecticut slipped. The figures appear in the January issue of the New Englander.
