Tourism
Tourism is Maine's biggest industry and, in part, how Maine has developed its iconic brand. However, we must do more to promote the Maine brand. We must aggressively seek out new markets and encourage investment in our tourism, recreation and sporting businesses.
Tourism is our single largest industry, and we cannot simply take it for granted that people will come here because they always have. We are competing for visitors with other states and the rest of the world. Our goal will be simple and straightforward: we will boost Maine’s tourism reputation to the top tier of the 50 states, both at home and abroad.
We will promote Maine aggressively, search out new markets and find ways to help our tourism, recreation and sporting businesses invest in the kinds of infrastructure and amenities that will keep people coming back to Maine.
