STOWE, Vt. –

It’s been nearly two weeks since Vermont’s travel restrictions were relaxed, and businesses are already seeing an increase in the number of travelers outside of the states.

However, according to the Ministry of Tourism, it will take more than a good spring and summer to recover from the troubles local businesses have faced. Vermont’s $ 3 billion tourism industry has plunged about $ 700 million so far, according to the group.

The ski industry is responsible for a seventh of that drop in sales – and with a slow season, surrounding towns like Stowe and their local businesses have felt the impact.

“We’re losing money in ways I could never have imagined,” said Benjy Adler, the owner of Skinny Pancake.

Over at the Trapp Family Lodge, Director and Executive Vice President Sam von Trapp awaits her biggest wedding season this summer – a much-needed relief after senior management wages were temporarily cut and wages frozen for a period of time.
