The Evening Sun reports that tourism to the Gettysburg area has gone up this year despite the rise in gas prices. But tourists are spending less money than in the past. That’s not surprising. People still have to adjust their budgets to the new economy and a part of that budgeting includes gas prices. If they drive from somewhere else to get here that’s going to eat into their spending money.

Local tourism experts are saying that tourism throughout the year will stay up. Events coming up will keep people coming back and that’s a good thing. The Apple Harvest Festival and other upcoming events usually do well to draw a crowd and the expectations are the same. Fall events will keep Gettysburg Pennsylvania in the limelight. There’s no doubt.

Upcoming Gettysburg area events include:

Gettysburg Music and Wine Festival, Gateway Gettysburg, September 6-7
National Apple Harvest Festival, Arendtsville, October 4-5 and October 11-12,
Remembrance Day parade, November 19
