New Hampshire tourism officials are expecting more than 15.9 million out-of-state visitors this summer, 3 percent more than last summer.
They say the visitors are anticipated to spend a little over $2 billion, also up 3 percent from a year ago.
More than 40 percent of all visitors to New Hampshire come during the summer. Many come from New England, the mid-Atlantic States, and eastern Canada.
The number of people visiting from Europe is expected to increase by about 3 percent over last summer, with the United Kingdom, French and German travel to New Hampshire expected to improve.
