Heidi Dolomont left, Chris Fogg, center of the Maine Tourism Association and Leigh Cummings, right, Houlton Rotarian and volunteer at the Houlton Tourist Information Center shared information with the Houlton Club on October 5, 2015. Leigh introduced his guests and gave some background information on the tourism industry. Chris Fogg elaborated on the Maine Tourism Association. He became the CEO for the association eight months ago with experience in Bar Harbor and Vermont and a degree in the field. The club learned about all of the aspects of the industry and its affects on the Maine economy as the number one industry in the State. A lobbyist is needed in Augusta to protect the funds that come into the state.Five hundred and thirty three million dollars were dedicated to the tourism fund last year alone. Chris complemented Heidi and Leigh for their work at the Houlton Center, one of seven in the state and the only other privately owned one apart from Calais. Butch Asselin, Town Manager of Houlton is looking to sell the Houlton building to generate taxes and Chris is fine about this. The hope is to find a space for the Houlton Tourist Information Center on the east side of Route 1 to make for a better location as travelers exit Route 95.
