Tourism Strategy For The Maine Woods: A Big Push To World Class, David Vail Jan 2007

Tourism Strategy For The Maine Woods: A Big Push To World Class, David Vail

His article gives examples of some promising new endeavors, and suggests the possible development of a “great Maine woods” recreation area or national heritage area as a possible “big push” strategy.
