The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Lisa Farquharson says tourism in the city seemed to be busier this year.  Farquharson says most of their indicators show an increase in activity, including visits to the Chamber for information and hits on the Chamber’s website.  She said much of the visitation came from the Western region.  Farquharson noted they are still getting large numbers of tourists now, primarily people who do not have children.  She added they are seeing an uptick in international visitors.
