As the summer tourism season in The Dalles reaches the halfway point, it appears the trend this year is fewer overnight stays but more daytrippers in the area. The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce CEO Lisa Farquharson says gas prices and inflation are a major factor behind what the summer has brought, but they are adjusting their marketing accordingly. Farquharson noted that an increase in live music offerings in The Dalles has led to increased activity in the evenings.
