Wyoming Office of Tourism attends Wyoming Outfitters & Guides Association convention

The Wyoming Office of Tourism had a strong presence at the Wyoming Outfitters & Guides Association (WYOGA) convention April 5-6 held in Casper. Glenn Gardner, Strategic Partnerships Manager, along with WOT board member Budd Betts, were able to present to the group on the state of the industry along with marketing opportunities available for them to utilize. Along with presenting to the group, we were also able to meet with individual guides, outfitters, and organizations to continue to build our relationship with this vital part of the Wyoming tourism landscape. WOT is excited to see where this relationship goes into the future and to continue to help Wyoming partners highlight their operations.
