If resources that attract people are there, people will come naturally and a park would serve the purpose of managing use and protecting the resource. This proposal does not fit the model. Labelling an area as a national park will attract visitors. Unfortunately, once they visit, they will leave saying, “This is it? No use coming back.” There goes the economic model.
A proposed national park for Maine would provide an economic boost to the manufacturers and retailers of bug spray. Both people wanting to visit the “park” would buy the bug juice.
