Abstract

Article detailing the negative effects that mass tourism has in Maine, and questioning how the state can promote itself as a quality destination rather than simply trying to attract large numbers of tourists. Steve Lyons, of the Maine Tourism Office, says his agency is just starting to get involved with alternatives to mass tourism. Several state agencies are working to promote nature-based tourism like bird watching, and the Maine Arts Commission is pushing cultural tourism. The author compares Maine's mass tourism with that of other countries.
