IRS990/Desc0A MAJOR PILLAR OF VISIT BIG SKY FOCUSES ON PROMOTING THE DESTINATION THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A UNIQUE OUTDOOR RECREATION EXPERIENCE. DUE TO THE IMPACT COVID19 HAS HAD ON TOURISM, EFFORTS WERE CONCENTRATED ON A MARKETING CAMPAIGN USING KARSH HAGAN TO SHOW POTENTIAL VISITORS THAT BIG SKY IS A PLACE TO REBOOT, RECHARGE, AND REJUVENATE FROM THE PANDEMIC. EFFORTS WERE CONCENTRATED ON UNITED STATES VISITORS WANTING TO ESCAPE THE BIG CITY AND COME TO A PLACE WHERE NATURE OFFERS A VACATION EXPERIENCE NOT FOUND IN MANY OTHER DESTINATIONS. DUE TO OUR PROXIMITY TO YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK WE ALSO TARGETED THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAD MADE PLANS TO VISIT YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK DURING 2021.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0OUR COMMUNITY NEEDED TO BE SAFE, STRONG AND BUSINESSES TO STAY OPEN TO SERVICE OUR GUESTS TO PROVIDE THE UNIQUE VACATION EXPERIENCE BIG SKY IS KNOWN FOR, SO WE PARTNERED WITH BIG SKY RELIEF TO PROVIDE COVID TEST KITS FOR EVERY RESIDENT AND WORKER IN BIG SKY. THE FOCUS OF THIS PROJECT WAS TO MITIGATE LOCALIZED SPREAD OF THE VIRUS AMONG THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. THIS PROGRAM PROVED TO BE VERY SUCCESSFUL BY IDENTIFYING AND MOVING TO ISOLATION/QUARANTINE OVER 1,100 ASYMPTOMATIC CASES OF COVID19.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0A MARKETING CAMPAIGN BASED ON RE-TARGETING THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAD BEEN IN MARKET THE PREVIOUS YEAR WAS LAUNCHED IN FY21 TO HELP BRING BACK TOURISTS TO BIG SKY WHO HAD ALREADY EXPERIENCED OUR UNIQUE DESTINATION. OUR PROXIMITY TO YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK WAS ONE OF THE MAJOR AREAS OF FOCUS HIGHLIGHTING THAT BIG SKY IS ONLY 1 HOUR NORTH OF THE WEST ENTRANCE TO YELLOWSTONE PARK SO WE FOCUSED OUR MESSAGING ON STAYING IN BIG SKY AND TRAVEL THE SCENIC 1 HOUR DRIVE TO EXPLORE THE PARK.
