Canadian Tourists Bring Maine Coast Back to Life | Portland Maine News
from Portland Maine News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Maine’s coastal towns are celebrating a triumphant summer tourism season, fueled by a major comeback of Canadian visitors who had previously stayed away. Businesses like Terrace by the Sea in Ogunquit saw record-breaking room sales—over 400 more than last year—with Canadians driving much of that growth. This resurgence is especially meaningful after last year’s dip, tied to cross-border tensions, making this year’s rebound a vital win for Maine’s economy. While Ogunquit led the charge, places like Wells also thrived thanks to perfect weather and bustling weekends. Business owners are optimistic, believing they’re still on track to hit pre-pandemic levels—and with momentum building, the outlook for future seasons looks bright.
