There are so many second homes and STR's that it is hard to say what is tourism. How many hotel rooms now vs. 25 years ago? I expect there are a lot of STR's that are friendly exchanges and don't show up on the books.

kudos to Bob Lawton who sponsored the legislation to change "Scenic" to "Live Free or Die"-I think internationally this is better known than "The Granite State". Other variations on LFOD have been used for years, and this only enhances our image. I chuckle at "Live Free and Prosper" a twist on the Vulcan benediction and LFOD. Well done to the T & T Bureau who squeezes a lot out of a not so great budget.
