Provide an Economic Impact Analysis for the Maine travel industry to evaluate the travel year. While the Department does not anticipate exact replication of previous years’ methodologies, the Department will require the awarded bidder to review data from previous years and identify instances where results can be compared. Impact figures are to be reported for the State of Maine and its eight (8) tourist regions (see Appendix F). The main objective for the Economic Impact Analysis is to measure the economic impact of tourism in Maine in terms of total sales, jobs that are supported, resident earnings and taxes generated. Earnings include wages for hourly and salaried workers as well as the income of working proprietors.
