T no many New England communities, the past few decades have been a time of economic readjustment and expansion. Modern roads, new stores, and well-painted houses have appeared in areas which, a short time ago, were in the midst of a general recession, brought on by declining returns from agriculture and industry. This current reversal of trend is largely the result of New England's growing tourist industry, the income from which in 1951 amounted to $957,000,000.1 In terms of value, tourism was the leading industry in Maine and New Hampshire, stood second in Vermont, and ranked high in industrial southern New England as well. In this article the impact of tourism on the economy of one representative area will be analyzed as a case study in the development of the modern recreation industry
