The work of our office is to lessen the impact of the visitor economy and find ways to educate our visitors, as well as our residents, on treating Big Sky with respect. Our business community continues to feel the strain of Big Sky's popularity. Visit Big Sky has done an excellent job collecting the data that has led to several realizations. An example of that was the acknowledgment that our housing issues are directly related to the number of shortterm rentals in Big Sky. The Visit Big Sky team is dedicated to solving tourism challenges with data that explains the challenges our community faces. Our marketing campaigns have been focused on bringing former visitors to Big Sky. Besides the cost savings of going after an "existing customer", we've also focused on key targeted destinations where our visitors come from. This year's focus was on Dallas, New York, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Seattle. Our proximity to Yellowstone National Park was one of our major areas of focus, highlighting that Big Sky is only one hour north of the west entrance. We focused our messaging on staying in Big Sky and traveling the scenic one-hour drive to explore the park. 1249374 false false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false true 23 0 true 0 false false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false true false false true true false false true true true true false true false false false X BRAD NIVA CEO 4069953000 PO BOX 160100 BIG SKY MT 59716 BRAD NIVA CEO 13.33 26.67 X 0 177189 3309 STACIE MESUDA BOARD CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CHRIS DUNKERSON VICE CHAIR 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CHRIS TORSLEFF SEC./TREASURER 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BRIDGET FRENCH Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 CAROLYN COLE Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID O'CONNOR Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 EMILEE WAGNER Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 KATE TOMKINSON Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 LINDSEY FOOTE Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 LIZZIE PEYTON Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 177189 3309 0 false true false 0 1147072 1147072 OFFICIAL VISITOR GUIDE 721000 155259 155259 SPONSORSHIP 721000 12987 12987 168246 17 17 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 1591 1591 1591 1316926 169837 17 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 510106 155523 354583 0 7850 7850 0 0 0 140408 140408 614065 614065 4726 4726 16392 16392 0 0 0 0 43322 43322 0 0 180 2301 2301 CONSUMER RESEARCH 209423 209423 WAYFINDING SIGNAGE 42934 42934 PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT 21470 21470 EDUCATION 5837 5837 0 1619014 1249374 369460 0 828356 557639 0 0 75428 22039 0 0 0 0 0 3597 180 3417 0 0 0 0 0 903784 583095 30421 11820 30421 11820 X 873363 571275 873363 571275 903784 583095 -302088 X false false false 3597 180 3417 3417 CREDIT CARD PAYABLE 11820 11820 X false false false BRAD NIVA CEO 177189 3309 180498 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 The organization has 12 active lodging partner members who contribute proprietary data, including occupancy and rates, to assist in management and marketing of the destination.
