Situation
Recreation and tourism in Vermont have a long history of contributing to the economy, influencing the culture of local communities, and impacting the natural environment. Although many communities are quick to embrace tourism for its perceived economic benefits, tourism development can result in negative social and environmental impacts and inequitable distribution of economic benefits.
