Dedication
This book is dedicated to the heritage of Vermont in a time of change. Although cultures, traditions, landscapes, and populations are transforming and evolving through tourism, industry, and ideas, Vermont’s heritage is still in the minds and stories of locals and visitors alike. Tourism creates change for better and for worse. This book is dedicated to all the communities and travellers who participate in tourism purposefully with a hope towards strengthening community relationships throughout the world and making change a positive force in every aspect of our lives.
