Western Montana's Glacier Country promotes Western Montana, and all of our communities, as a tourism destination. Businesses and organizations benefit from these efforts regardless of partnership status. Here are just a few examples:
Our website, glaciermt.com, has more than 1.8 million unique visitors each year, a number that has doubled in the last five years. Visitors to our site spend an average of five minutes per visit, using the site as a pertinent resource for accurate and up-to-date information on Western Montana. Our primary site is also completely responsive, meaning it will adjust accordingly depending on the mobile device being used to view it, such as an iPad, iPhone or other tablet/smartphone. While partner listings are featured prominently on our site, all communities are represented, and all state business listings feed into our site. Our microsites for group and international tour operators along with meeting and convention planners are also a great way to showcase your businesses to these market segments.
You can, and should, share any and all events in and around Glacier Country to our glaciermt.com Events page. Add your upcoming events, and please include as much information as possible.

Western Montana's Glacier Country provides a marketing voice much louder than what we could do on our own. Their audience exposure and traffic are at a scale we’d be silly not to take advantage of.
