Visit NH launched a new foliage tracker aimed at helping leaf peepers. The interactive, mobile-friendly tracker offers regional reports of NH’s foliage as well as offering lodging and dining suggestions, points of interest around the state, and images from a network of leaf peepers.
Approximately 8.5 million people are expected to visit NH this fall, an increase of about 5 percent from last fall. Spending from these visitors is anticipated to be up 7 percent, reaching $1.30 billion. The fall season is historically the second busiest season in NH, attracting more than 25 percent of all visitors to the state annually.
Most visitors to NH this fall will be from the New England and Mid-Atlantic markets. The state is expected to see an increase this fall in overnight visits from more distant states, including Florida, California, Illinois and Texas. Low gas prices are helping fuel the expected increase.
