Tourism Means Business: Building a Year-Round Economy in Kalispell.
Join us for an insightful luncheon that combines exploration, storytelling, and strategy—all designed to foster a sustainable tourism economy.
You'll learn how to be a "traveler" without leaving town. Savor the delicious adventure of the Huckleberry Treat Trail and explore creative table themes packed with resources to help you enjoy unexpected treasures in our backyard.
Why does tourism matter to every business, not just hotels and attractions? We’ll look at the latest tourism snapshot for Kalispell and the Flathead Valley, dive into seasonality (are we a year-round destination yet?), and tackle 2025’s top trends—from economic uncertainty to the decline in Canadian visitations and the potential impact of major upcoming events.
Hear from the Frontlines. In a dynamic panel discussion, business owners from the lodging, retail, guiding, and essential services sectors will share how tourism fuels their bottom lines—and what expanding year-round visitation could mean for all of us.
Then, we want to hear from YOU! Through a short survey, you’ll help to shape the next steps for Kalispell’s tourism future
Thank you to this month's sponsor, First Interstate Bank!
