SE Group Helps New Hampshire Establish an Outdoor Industry Inventory
New Hampshire’s abundant outdoor recreation offerings, ranging from challenging peak hikes to coastal fishing and ski resorts, form a cornerstone of its economy and lifestyle. The outdoor industry in the state supports over 30,000 jobs and contributes $3.3 billion to its economy annually, highlighting its significant economic impact. Recognizing the importance of this sector, New Hampshire established the Office of Outdoor Recreation Industry Development (ORID) in 2019 within the Department of Business and Economic Affairs. To lay a strategic groundwork, ORID partnered with SE Group to comprehensively assess and map the state’s outdoor industry. Through extensive stakeholder engagement and data analysis, SE Group’s report identifies industry dynamics, strengths, and areas for growth, providing a robust foundation for future development and economic strategies.
The resulting report not only offers a detailed overview of New Hampshire’s outdoor industry landscape but also outlines actionable insights into specific recreational activities, their participation trends, and infrastructure needs. This comprehensive analysis equips policymakers, businesses, and community leaders with vital information to foster sustainable growth and enhance the state’s outdoor recreation economy. By leveraging these findings, New Hampshire is poised to further capitalize on its natural assets, ensuring continued economic vitality and enriching the quality of life for residents and visitors alike through strategic outdoor recreation planning and development initiatives.
