Reply to comment by BovaDesnuts in Question- Why does Mass charge out of staters 3x the price to camp at Mass state parks? I understand slightly higher rates, but 3x? Come on. by Figwit_

But this is tourism money. The state doesn't want tourism dollars to come in?

Tourists spend whatever they want, and the state doesn't care about Tourists that don't go to Boston. Prices need to be low for Bostonians who want to go camping.

Remember, 2/3rds of all votes in MA come from the Boston Metro. Everything the state does is in service of Bostonians. Worcester, WMA, and the entire world only matter when Boston can't agree

Right, so we'd prefer you stay in hotels and eat in restaurants.

Wouldnt say MA doesnt want it, but MA doesnt rely on it as much as say, Maine.
