As the summer winds down, most indicators show it was another big tourist season in the Hood River area. Hood River County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Mike Glover says Travel Oregon statistics show transient room tax receipts for the Mt. Hood region, which runs from the Troutdale area to The Dalles, is once again showing double digit percentage point growth. He adds area businesses are reporting that they’ve had a good summer, noting a trip he recently took around the Hood River Valley Fruit Loop. And there still appears to be more to come, with Glover noting most Hood River hotels are reporting they will be full for Hops Fest the weekend of September 24.
