Introduction
As 2021 begins, Kalispell and the world continue to deal with COVID-19's implications and concerns.
Discover Kalispell remains focused and nimble to meet the next challenge, to effectively support Montana's
travel industry and reopen Kalispell's economy safety and effectively through tourism.
During 2020 Montana tourism fared better than the national average due to the American traveler's
continued focus on outdoor and less crowded destinations and experiences. Discover Kalispell anticipated as
much as a 40-75% decrease in revenue but ended the year in a more positive position: 30% decrease in bed
tax and 19% decrease in TBID revenue. Discover Kalispell's role shifted from a focus on marketing to a
destination stewardship and management role, providing information and resources to the local tourism
industry and communicating with travelers once they arrived in our region to assure safe and responsible
travel.
Factors critical to Discover Kalispell's FY22 business recovery strategy as travel trends and revenue
collections move through recovery into more predictable levels:
• Maintaining organizational stability through cash management and effective use of resources.
• Supporting the community as a steward of responsible and safe travel and recreation and serve as a
resource for information and destination advocacy.
• Championing community -driven destination growth by celebrating the diversity of our local culture,
supporting downtown resurgence projects, and travel and hospitality workforce development.
• Achieving increased brand awareness and connection with travelers to drive visitations and room
night stays at Kalispell hotels.
As travel resumes destination promotion competition will be fierce and crowded. To maintain a competitive
position in the travel marketing industry, this marketing plan focuses on increasing lodging collections by
identifying high -value travelers during 2021 which in some cases are a different geographic and
demographic visitor -type for Kalispell. Discover Kalispell will utilize a data -driven marketing strategy and
leverage local and regional partnerships with the guidance of our high-level creative and brand content
agencies of record, to achieve a strong return on investment on the tourism promotion funding we receive.

Destination Facts
• Kalispell ranks number 21 out of 545 micropolitan cities in the U.S. for economic strength.
• The Kalispell Core and Rail Redevelopment Project is facilitating a vibrant, pedestrian -friendly,
mixed -use revitalization with retail, residential, entertainment, and cultural amenities for
the downtown core.
• Glacier National Park, the Crown of the Continent, serves as the primary draw for warm season
visitations to northwest Montana. The Park struggles with overcrowding in the Going -to -the -Sun
Road corridor so is implementing a ticketed entry system for the summer of 2021. Despite limited
Discover Kalispell, Kalispell Convention & Visitor Bureau -- FY 2022 Marketing Plan 5
Kalispe
services and closer of the east side during 2020 the park saw 60% increases in visitations during the
fall season. Discover Kalispell's marketing promotes visits to the park outside of July and August.
• Kalispell's Glacier Park International Airport is serviced by six carriers, Alaska, Allegiant, American,
Delta, Sun Country, and United, with flights to a growing number of destinations, including five new
seasonal destinations beginning summer 2021. Stronger than anticipated level of performance
during 2020 prompted the airport to resume the terminal expansion project in spring of 2021.
• Lodging properties in Kalispell: 23 hotels with 1,938 rooms plus over 390 short term rental (STR)
properties active in Kalispell during the peak season (AirDNA). Flathead County has the highest
number of STR's in Montana, at 2,814 during Sept 2019-Sept 2020 (ITRR).
• Groups of 10-500 can be comfortably and adequately accommodated in Kalispell. Two conference
hotels that can accommodate up to 280 rooms per night with over 26,000 square feet of meeting
space. Kalispell is receiving a growing number of event and group venues such as the Ashley Creek
Historic Venue at Snowline Acres.
Kalispell Strengths
• Downtown Kalispell is experiencing a resurgence with the addition of new businesses, a burgeoning
art scene including new street art and sculptures, and strong interest by out -of -area developers to
invest in the CORE area redevelopment.
• Well-preserved cultural offerings: Conrad Mansion Museum, Hockaday Museum of Art, The
Museum at Central School.
• Montana's iconic natural landmarks located in Kalispell's backyard: 32 miles from the entrance to
Glacier National Park, 10 miles to Flathead Lake, surrounded by 2 million acres of Flathead National
Forest.
• State Parks: Kalispell is surrounded by eleven state parks providing trails, activities, interpretative
visitor services, and water -based activities.
• Increased availability of non-stop flights: Glacier Park International Airport passenger count
remained strong and lead the state in year -over -year growth. By February 2021 enplanements had
returned to 2019 levels. GPIA is seeing continued growth and expansion through the attractiveness
of the destination, airport leadership, and Glacier AERO, a board represented by the Flathead Valley
business and tourism industry serving to provide incentives for enhanced air service.
• Investments in education: Flathead Valley Community College's recent additions include the
Broussard Library and Learning Commons, new on -campus housing, and the Wachholz College
Center which will include a fitness center, gymnasium, event space, performing arts education and a
performance and lecture hall. Scheduled to be completed spring 2022.
• Completion of major infrastructure projects: continued completion of the Kalispell bypass and the
designation of the Hwy 93/Reserve to improve freight and passenger vehicle mobility.
Kalispell Challenges
• Sized between a larger Montana city and a resort town, Kalispell is neither. It's a burgeoning,
thriving community that is best viewed and described as a small city with mountain -town amenities
and culture. This distinction is an integral part of what sets Kalispell apart and vital to understand
Discover Kalispell, Kalispell Convention & Visitor Bureau -- FY 2022 Marketing Plan 6
a
Kalispell
the competitive dynamics when setting expectations for seasonality of visitation, occupancy and
room rates.
• Availability of short-term rentals (STR) such as AirBNB and VRBO influences traditional lodging
occupancy and average daily rate. As of September 2020, over 12,000 STR's were active in Montana
during the preceding 12 months with Flathead County receiving the highest number at 2,814 units.
Kalispell STIR activity during the peak summer season shows the average rental size as a 2.7-
bedroom unit housing 7 guests, an average daily rate of $215/night and average occupancy of 90%.
(Source: AirDNA and ITRR —The State of Short Term Rentals in Montana)
• The Canadian border closed March 20, 2020. Visitors from Alberta and British Columbia are a year-
round key market for Kalispell and the Flathead Valley. Top activities by those visitors include
recreational shopping, day hiking, visiting local breweries, golfing, motorboating, skiing, and events
(ITRR). Due to the border closure, credit card spending in Kalispell from Canada averaged a 94%
decrease between April -December 2020. At this time a border reopening date has not been
announced.
• Kalispell Chamber/CVB works with partners and key stakeholders to convene discussions and create
strategies for workforce housing needs including the promotion of public -private partnerships and
other tools to incentivize a growing supply of mixed -use housing options.
• Weather conditions are deviating from historical patterns which poses a challenge when promoting
outdoor recreation and outdoor events. The impact of national media headlines around wildfires in
GNP, as well as the wildfire smoke from surrounding states impacts visitations to our area.
• Aquatic Invasive Species post a threat to the Flathead basin waterways. The impact to Montana
from zebra mussels alone is estimated at $234M in mitigation costs and lost revenue. (Source:
Flathead Lake Biological Station)
Kalispell Opportunities
• Discover Kalispell is undertaking a visual brand refresh in 2021. In addition, we are working with our
parent organization, the Kalispell Chamber of Commerce to develop a co -brand, a partnership for
community success, growth and sustainability.
• The natural landscape is the foundation of Kalispell and its tie to agriculture and recreation. Discover
Kalispell's commitment to be an advocate for sustainability of natural resources will be integrated in
our communication and promotional strategy directed to travelers as well as our alliances and
partnerships with area non -profits and businesses.
• Equity, diversity and inclusion will be a cornerstone for Discover Kalispell's strategy during FY22. The
marketing and community stewardship initiatives will focus on fostering a welcoming environment
to all, both to the community and the outdoor recreation landscape. This includes the development
of content and programming to promote all aspects of the local culture by honoring diverse
residents and by informing travelers on ways to safely enjoy Montana's outdoors.
• The increased number of sports and conference and event facilities being developed within our
competitive destinations highlight the need for Kalispell to prioritize the expansion of indoor and
outdoor event venues and other tourism assets.

Why Destination Marketing Is Important for Communities
Tourism is a competitive industry. When selecting a mountain community for a vacation destination there
are many states and cities to choose from. A destination can no longer assume that if they build it they will
come. Destination Marketing Organizations (DMO) such as Discover Kalispell strive to implement a tourism
promotion strategy that over time will increase the competitiveness of the destination, and in turn increase
revenues, taxes and local employment. New residents often began as visitors creating a virtuous cycle of
economic benefits which begins with travel promotion.
Impacts of destination promotion for a community are far-reaching. Non-resident visitors spent $3.77 billion
in Montana (2019) and $613 million in Flathead County (2019) (ITRR). Those dollars impact a wide range of
local business such as restaurants, retail, hotels, outfitters and guides, groceries, gasoline, and rental cars.
Investment in tourism assets provides long term benefits. New businesses such as restaurants and breweries
are an important part of the local experience's that visitors are attracted to but are also enjoyed by
residents. When a community creates the right conditions for destination development, investment, and
promotion, tourism is an economic lever that supports a strong sustainable economy.
Discover Kalispell works as a community partner to support and develop assets that are attractive to visitors
but also support the quality of life for residents. Discover Kalispell's comprehensive regional and national
campaigns raise Kalispell's profile, which assists the community in receiving new and expanded air service,
new industries and employers, and the economic impact of recruiting conferences and events. Travelers'
wants and needs as well as their methods of trip planning are constantly changing. The promotional tactics
used by a DMO to reach potential visitors need to be current, effective, and genuine to the destination's
local culture to garner visitor engagement as well as support and buy -in from the local community. This is
achieved with adequate funding and organizational structure and expertise within the DMO.
The role of a DMO has evolved to extend beyond just marketing. A destination's tourism marketing brand
works closely with local organizations and governments to be an active partner in the holistic health of the
community. Some of the current priorities include:
• Sustainable Growth — Residents are questioning a DMO's contribution to peak seasons and the
impact to resources and infrastructure. Discover Kalispell prioritizes its marketing spend to promote
the fall, winter and spring seasons. The summer peak season is not actively promoted through paid
advertising and instead is highlighted through the use of earned media, social media and newsletter
marketing to promote areas and activities outside of Glacier National Park and actively guide visitors
to off -the -beaten -path experiences.
• Development — DMO's are not just marketers, they are advocates and stewards of the destination's
community resources. Discover Kalispell is actively supporting the following initiatives: Glacier AERO
to develop new and expanded air service, the Kalispell core area and downtown development

projects, providing event and visitor asset development grants, serving as an advocate for Kalispell's
expanding arts and culture scene including our three downtown museums, educating in -market and
potential travelers on Recreate Responsibly principles to help protect our natural resources, and
honoring and promoting a variety of aspects of the culture and heritage of northwest Montana.
• Workforce — adequate workforce is a key initiative for the Kalispell Chamber of Commerce
Convention & Visitor Bureau. The Chamber's 2021 workforce initiative includes a multi -year
program supporting Kalispell's three top industry sectors: tourism and hospitality, manufacturing
and occupational trades, and bioscience and being a leading voice to develop effective strategies to
address workforce housing and childcare needs.

The Travel Decision Process
The travel industry is recognizing the pent-up demand consumers are feeling which is leading to an
increased desire to travel again in 2021. With the increasing world-wide vaccination rates and pandemic
fatigue, it is believed that recovery will begin in earnest during 2021. Longwoods Travel Sentiment Study
indicates that 84% of American travelers have travel plans in the next six months. Skift reports that United,
Delta, and Alaska Airlines are near break even or positive cash flow. Meetings and other types of group
travel has restarted with bookings from 2020 contracting for the second half of 2021 and into 2022. The
Trip Advisor 2021 Traveler Trend report states, "For destinations and tourism operators, the message is
clear: however you choose to market your offering to travelers this year, don't wait. Every day, more and
more travelers aren't just dreaming of their next trip abroad, they are planning and booking it." Destination
marketing has restarted across the U.S. and competition for the attention of travelers will be fierce.
This is being called the Year of Travel Rebound and northwest Montana is anticipated to receive a high
number of visitations as a desirable outdoor destination and with the increased number of non-stop flights
to Kalispell. Steps to insure a safe and healthy trip will continue to remain a priority for travelers. Discover
Kalispell's Travel Safe, Recreate Responsibly and Travel Tips resources will continue to play an important role
providing current information to travelers and local businesses. Although the travel landscape has changed
and the nation is still moving through recovery, when it comes to destination marketing and the ability to
competitively reach travelers in the planning cycle, many of the strategies Discover Kalispell typically
employs will remain constant.
Discover Kalispell strategies to reach consumers throughout the planning cycle:
Stage 1 - Inspiration
Messages: Speak to the desire for a trip that includes a mountain community, outdoor recreation,
relaxation, friendly -small town feel, and free -spirit adventure while also addressing safety, availability of
modern comforts, and dispelling perceptions of Montana being difficult to access. Include messaging in our
promotions that shows the affordability of a Montana vacation once they arrive and the unique experiences
and memories they'll receive (Glacier National Park, Flathead Lake). Highlight family -friendly events and
activities. Tell an inspiring story of what makes our community special. Most travelers are also considering
the trip in the inspiration stage and the budget continues to have a strong influence throughout the
planning cycle.
Tools:
• Destination websites — discoverkalispell, visitmt, glaciermt.
• Targeted content and search marketing.
• Discover Kalispell social media channels: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, You Tube.
• Blogs, articles, and inspiring photos & videos to demonstrate the unique Kalispell culture.

Discover Kalispell, Kalispell Convention & Visitor Bureau -- FY 2022 Marketing Plan 13
Kalispe
Stage 2: Orientation — Planning
Messages: Highlight the diverse events and activities, downtown Kalispell, variety of dining choices, locally
made products, and suggested itineraries. Soften the perception that they will be isolated (being without
common amenities) and the perceived challenges of harsh weather. Highlight local food, craft beverage
scene, arts and entertainment, recreation, and natural resources.
Tools:
• Discoverkalispell.com
• Consumer reviews and ratings on travel platforms.
• Be present on popular travel sites.
• Strong call to action in all content.
• Customized content for newsletter database.
• Local events calendars.
• Video to highlight events and activities so they can imagine themselves in the picture.
• Checklists to incentivize trip planning — ex. 10 day -hikes within 30 minutes of Kalispell.
Stage 3: Facilitation — Booking
Messages: Travelers are interested and motivated but probably have not finalized trip plans. Goal is to not
lose them to another destination by making it easy for them to book. Connect travelers with hotels and
activity providers, highlight events during their travel dates, promote activities outside of Glacier National
Park to extend the trip, and make the transaction as smooth and seamless as possible.
Tools:
• Mobile -friendly website.
• Lodging booking engine on DiscoverKalispell.com.
• Activity booking links on DiscoverKalispell.com.

one-on-one platforms.
Stage 4: The Experience
Messages: Travelers rely on mobile to get their bearings once arriving at a destination. Once they are here, a
destination and other tourism businesses need to be present with resources on websites, apps, and social
media, including a way to tap into local knowledge.
Tools:
• Mobile -friendly website with up-to-date event calendar and sample itineraries.

Destination Marketing Industry Trends and Research
Leisure Travel Trends
2020 upended the tourism industry, changing the predictability of visitation seasonality and the definition of
Kalispell's typical visitor. In 2021 success needs to be redefined, using this time to ask questions, identify the
ideal target consumer and go after it, build business. Tread carefully but with purpose into the adjusted
normal.
Destination Analysts provides weekly COVID-19 Travel Insights which outline trends in traveler sentiment
and factors involved in restarting the travel industry. The April 51" weekly update on American Travel in the
Period of Coronavirus showed:
• On average, American travelers believe the United States is 52.6% back to normalcy right now.
Nearly half believe their life will be back to "normal" by September.
• About two-thirds of Americans are highly open to travel inspiration right now and the number of
Americans actively dreaming about and planning travel reached a 2021 peak at 77.7%.
Many travelers will continue to prioritize a destination and businesses within that destination that continue
to exhibit health and safety protocols. Destination Analysts survey indicated that 73.5% feel that wearing a
mask is still necessary after vaccination. When asked how confident are you that you can travel safely in the
current environment 36.2% were confident or very confident. Desire to travel is there but hesitations for
health and safety still are a factor.
In 2021 DMO's will need to maintain a community -first focus. Destinations need to continue to demonstrate
their community's commitment to safety and preserving the local culture and way of life. ITRR Residents'
Attitudes Towards Tourism — 41" Quarter 2020 report shows that 61% agree or strongly agree that because
of COVID-19, I am more concerned about visitors in my community. That sentiment is heightened in regions
such as northwest Montana where residents also expressed that "my community is becoming overcrowded
because of more visitors during the summer tourism season." Discover Kalispell will continue to
communicate the health and safety guidelines for city, county and state, as well as federal lands - Glacier
National Park and Flathead National Forest. Travelers also want to be aware of the percentage of residents
that have been vaccinated and availability of testing.
Discover Kalispell's FY22 marketing plan addresses the importance of a community -first focus by 1)
continuing to support a sustainable destination through targeted messaging about responsible recreation
and safe travel, 2) develop community advocacy initiatives that promote equity, diversity and inclusivity and
3) continue to be an active participant in initiatives that add to the viability and smart growth of Kalispell
and the downtown core.
Key performance indicators used during FY22 to optimize marketing and promotional campaigns:
• Smith Travel Reports — hotel occupancy, ADR, demand and revenue on a weekly basis for
Kalispell and competitive set.

• Destination desirability— paid and organic media engagements and conversions, visitor guide
requests, newsletter subscriptions and earned media.
• Website analytics — regular tracking of unique visitors, pages/session, session duration to retain
engagement with destination and monitor campaign results through landing page activity.
• Mobile location data — track visitations daily utilizing geolocation data at a micro -destination
specific level.
• Visitor spending — monitor visitor spending via credit card transactions in Kalispell gauging
geographic market seasonal impacts based on overall spend and lodging spend.
Meetings Industry Trends
The meetings industry took a major hit with the 2020 pandemic and required planners to relearn and
rethink everything from business models and sponsorship to event technology and content delivery. A
survey of 929 planners by Northstar Meeting Group taken February 18 to March 2, 2021 found that 81% of
all planners will hold their next in -person event sometime in 2021. Most of that business (59%) will fall in the
second half of 2021 and just 19% will hold their next real -life gathering in 2022 or later.
Associations are leading in this progress towards recovery, followed by independent planners and sports.
Respondents from those market segments are more confident that vaccine rollouts will speed the industry's
recovery, more likely to hold their next in -person events in the second quarter of 2021, more apt to be
planning hybrid meetings, and much less likely to hold all -virtual gatherings. Corporate meetings will be slow
to return mostly due to restriction on employee travel. Liability concerns of employees with underlying
health issues and budget issues are both significant factors relative to the restrictions.
Sporting events were among the few market segments that did not come to a halt in 2020. "Youth sports, in
particular, have been a gift to destinations that reopened quickly, and that business remained strong even
during the pandemic", points out Al Kidd, president and CEO of the Sports Events and Tourism Association.
Evidence that children are less susceptible to the virus gave parents more confidence in letting their kids
participate in events, and organizers followed the example of professional leagues to minimize risks and
control outbreaks.
As the dust clears a bit and Discover Kalispell looks forward to the future of meetings and events in 2021-
2022, one thing is clear: virtual and hybrid events are here to stay, and alongside traditional in -person
events will become fixtures in most go -forward meetings and event programs. In a recent study through
PCMA, 76% of planners said that they are going virtual for 2021. In another survey with Northstar Meeting
Group survey, they found that 54% are now planning meetings with both online and in -person components
or planning to do so.
Discover Kalispell Strategies:
• Meeting and group business will pick up starting in the fall of 2021 with Association market likely to
return the quickest to in -person meetings. Discover Kalispell's primary market for meeting business
is the Montana and Pacific Northwest region. Targeted paid media campaigns connect with planners

booking group sizes best served by Kalispell's group venues and amenities. Quarterly newsletters to
meeting planner database retains connections and communicates the services, expertise in event
planning assistance, and incentive programs that Discover Kalispell offers.
• Sporting events didn't come to halt during 2021 and will continue to be strong for destinations.
Discover Kalispell will retain and build connections with state and local sports organizations, regional
and national promoters and tournament directors, by soliciting new destination events, assisting
with specific requests and providing grant funding for new and expanding local events.
• The biggest hurdle and obstacle for the future of in -person meetings are general hesitation and
uncertainty related to COVID-19 by event hosts and potential attendees. With this uncertainty,
virtual and hybrid meetings continue to evolve and become more important. Discover Kalispell's
hybrid meeting resources help planners and groups start a connection in Kalispell. Providing
resources and knowledge on industry trends, local vendor resources, keeping up-to-date with
meeting industry articles and working closely with hotel sales departments.
Group Tour & Travel Trends
As the world slowly recovers from Covid-19, borders gradually start to open, the expectation of travel will
look different than it did pre -pandemic. Most guided travel companies say they are confident people
eventually will return to more traditional group travel but the trend toward more intimate tours has spread
quickly.
Collette, who was one of the few major tour operators running trips this year, reduced its maximum
capacity for the near term and most major operators say they expect smaller groups to be the norm, at least
initially. The Globus family of brands, for instance, has expanded small -group departures across almost all of
its guided itineraries next year, meaning guests will have the option to travel in groups that average 24
people rather than the standard size of about 40.
Many U.S. tour companies will look to domestic tours and destinations with wide-open spaces and create
more FIT itineraries. What used to be considered travel hot -spots, areas that were popular prior to the
pandemic, may be put on the back burner for a while. The popular destinations will be those destinations
that have controlled the coronavirus and more off -the -beaten path locations will become more popular.
Discover Kalispell Strategies:
• Tour companies are reducing the capacity of tours to comply with COVID-19 guidelines and instill
confidence in travelers. Discover Kalispell connects with domestic tour companies through paid and
organic media placements promoting Kalispell as the perfect destination to experience wide-open
spaces, outdoors and off -the -beaten path activities and experiences.
• International travel will take some time to return. Discover Kalispell will continue the relationship
and marketing partnership with Rocky Mountain International (RMI) which has representatives in
France, Germany, Australia, Italy, UK, Benelux and Nordic Regions. Discover Kalispell's quarterly tour
operator newsletters retain connections with tour operators and highlights itineraries, group
resources and amenities.
