Connecting Through Tourism

​Join us in Meredith, New Hampshire, October 7-10, 2025!
Tourism is all about making connections – between people, places, cultures, and time. The 2025 NETtra Conference will connect two organizations comprised of tourism researchers, educators, and practitioners in a first-time collaboration between the Northeast Chapter of the Travel and Tourism Research Association (NETTRA) and the National Extension Tourism (NET) Network, hosted by the University of New Hampshire. ​
​Location:
We will be at the beautiful Mill Falls at the Lake resort, on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, just steps away from the historic village of Meredith. This setting will provide ample opportunities for place-based explorations into themes such as outdoor recreation, tourism seasonality, agritourism, rural development, historic preservation, and more.

Here is information on transportation to Meredith by car, plane, and bus.
