Poll Description

With the Great Eclipse of 2024 just days away, people and businesses are preparing for the solar spectacle.

A hospitality industry report estimates that 1 in 5 Americans who travel are likely to hit the road in order to glimpse the eclipse on April 8. It will place parts of 15 states in darkness.

Maine will receive anywhere from 7,000 to 27,000 visitors, according to one forecast. Hotels, inns, campgrounds and other lodgings are already booked full, as Mainebiz reported Feb. 29.

Other businesses — both inside and outside the path of totality — are also making plans.
