Keynote Speaker Lori Harnois, NH’s Director of Travel & Tourism Development
PLYMOUTH – Central New Hampshire Chamber of Com- merce (CNHCC) is holding its first in-person Travel & Tourism Seminar since the onset of the pandemic. The event will be held on Wednesday, January 11, 2023, from 9 a.m.-noon at Plymouth State University’s Merrill Place.

Keynote speaker Lori Har- nois, director of Travel and Tourism Development for the state of New Hampshire. Har- nois will present a summary of 2022 tourism outcomes for the state, as well as information about 2023 trends, predictions, and state marketing strategies.
Guest speaker Michele Cota, executive director of Discover
New England, will cover interna- tional travel trends and collective efforts to protect and grow New England’s market share.
“The Chamber’s mission is to fuel the economic engine of our region, and travel and tour- ism is an important part of the economy here and across the state,” noted Matty Leighton, CNHCC’s executive director. “We’re thrilled to bring together business owners and profession- als in Central NH and beyond to help them prepare for a success-
ful 2023 season.”

CNHCC member Kerry Keating of Modern Woodmen of America sees the value of sponsorship. “The opportunity to sponsor the CNHCC Travel & Tourism Seminar makes perfect sense for us because it will help us connect us with influential peo- ple and businesses from a variety
of industries across the state.” For information about the 2023 Travel & Tourism Seminar, sponsorship opportunities, or the Central NH Chamber of Com- merce, contact Matty Leighton, CNHCC executive director, at (603) 969-7271 or director@cen-
