The Industry Services and Outreach team at the Montana Department of Commerce works directly with tourism industry partners and small businesses to promote Montana’s spectacular, unspoiled nature and charming towns by coordinating opportunities throughout the state. These efforts help grow Montana’s economy by improving the visitor experience, growing visitor spending and increasing industry capacity through workshops, trainings, public relations, and grants.
Industry Services and Outreach staff assist Montana’s six tourism regions and 19 convention and visitors' bureaus, provide staff support for the Tourism Advisory Council, manage the Made in Montana program and administer the Tourism Grant Program that incentivizes investments in tourism infrastructure and marketing throughout the state.
