Hello. I'm Richard Ager. Beth Carroll is on assignment. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook.
Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial kick-off of the summer travel season which is when many local businesses make their money.
The state wants to remind travelers that despite the recent rain and flooding New Hampshire is ready for leisure with nearly all major roads and tourist destinations open.
Triple-A predicts travel will be up slightly this Memorial Day holiday despite high gas prices.
The Auto Club estimates more than 37-million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home this holiday.
But with gas prices hovering around the three-dollar mark, are travelers rethinking their "holiday" and summer destinations?
And is that good or bad news for New Hampshire?
Joining us to talk about tourism in the state and the rising gas costs are:
Nick Wallner from Triple-A in Concord and Alice DeSouza, the Director of the New Hampshire Division of Travel and Tourism Development.
Welcome.
Q ALICE, let me start with you-- Wednesday afternoon you joined the Governor to talk about tourism after the flood, what was the message?
Q ALICE: Are there any particular tourist spots in NH that have been hit hard by the flooding?
Q NICK: What about gas prices? Averaging nationwide $2.93/gallon. will that deter folks from traveling ?
Q ALICE: Is the state doing to encourage travelers to come to NH this summer despite high gas costs?
Q ALICE: Your office has some ads out to attract tourists for the summer? What is the point/focus of the ads?
Q NICK: What is AAA hearing from people? Do they still want to travel? Where do they want to go? stay close to home or further away?
Q ALICE: Is there a concern from businesses in NH that the tourists just won't come this summer given gas prices? Are business owners doing anything special to attract tourists?
Q ALICE: Do you think NH will benefit from higher gas costs?
Q NICK: What can folks do to help save on gas? Is there one item in particular that's important to remember?

This time of year not only means travel but the return of the mosquitoes.
There's concern the large amount of rain and flooding in New Hampshire could lead to a dramatic increase in the mosquito population.
But will that lead to an increased risk from mosquito-borne diseases?
Outlook's Chip Neal spoke with Entomologist and UNH Cooperative Extension specialist Alan Eaton to find out more about this year's crop of mosquitoes.
