New Hampshire Outdoor Industry Inventory

Defining and quantifying the outdoor recreation industry in New Hampshire.

In 2019, New Hampshire became the 16th state to  establish an outdoor recreation office . The New Hampshire Office of Outdoor Recreation Industry Development (ORID) —which is housed within the state’s Department of Business and Economic Affairs (BEA) — was established to support New Hampshire’s diverse outdoor economy and connect New Hampshire's world class outdoor assets to broad economic development strategies.

About the Project

To set a foundation and establish a baseline for ORID’s work, New Hampshire needs to define and quantify the outdoor recreation industry.

This project will be more than a document -- it is a dynamic process that will bring stakeholders, regions, business, and recreation enthusiasts together for a better future of outdoor recreation in New Hampshire.
