N.H. winter travel spending is pegged at $1.05 billion

CONCORD — The New Hampshire Division of Travel and Tourism Development (DTTD) is releasing its winter forecast, projecting travelers will make more than 1 million visits to the Granite State this season. Spending by those travelers is expected to reach more than $1.05 billion.

“New Hampshire is the premier travel destination in the Northeast throughout the year, but nothing compares to winter in the Granite State. During the winter season, visitors can experience world class skiing and riding, unique culinary experiences, tax-free shopping, and the beautiful scenery New Hampshire is known for,” said Taylor Caswell, commissioner, New Hampshire Department of Business and Economic Affairs.

DTTD will be launching its winter advertising campaign in early January, which targets the New England markets of Boston, Hartford, Portland and Providence, as well as New York, Toronto and Montreal.

To generate excitement for the skiing and snowboarding opportunities in New Hampshire, DTTD will display “Powder Alert” messages on social media and on digital billboards in key markets during snowstorms. DTTD will focus on skiing and snowboarding, family fun and snowmobiling as core winter activities, while also showcasing après ski activities and off-slope activities, such as snowshoeing, dining and shopping.
