If you’ve never attended, here’s what the Montana Governor’s Conference on Tourism & Recreation is all about:  

This annual conference is Montana’s tourism and recreation partners opportunity to get together for 2 days of education, training, discussion, networking, and entertainment. It’s all focused on helping the partners help themselves be successful in their tourism and recreation-related endeavors.

Typically, 400 to 450 people participate in the conference. Montana's tourism industry involves private sector travel service providers, property owners (hotels, motels, guest ranches, B&Bs, resorts), public and private sector attraction managers and staff, outfitters/guides, federal and state agency land managers, state, regional, community and tribal tourism developers and businesses, promoters and interested individuals. You should be there too!
