Our team is here to help.
Idaho Tourism builds our economy by promoting Idaho as a visitor destination on a national and international level. The team uses strategic marketing and public relations to create awareness of Idaho’s attractions and foster sustainable growth.
The division also supports local non-profit and regional tourism development organizations through a competitive marketing grant program. Workshops, training, co-op marketing opportunities and assistance with marketing and public relations efforts are available to all tourism suppliers in Idaho.
Our $3 billion tourism industry plays a vital part in Idaho’s economy by providing over 45,800 direct jobs which generate $475 million in local, state and federal tax revenues.
