New Report Says Montana Tourism Creates Over 6,000 Jobs

The National Park Service just issued a new report touting the tourism industry here in the great state of Montana.  According to their findings, over 4 million people visited National Parks in Montana last year.

They estimate that, just from National Parks, those tourists added nearly $400 million to our state's economy and created 6,354 jobs. Those numbers are slightly down from last year, when nearly 4.5 million people visited Montana's National Parks, which include Glacier, Yellowstone, Little Bighorn National Monument, Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area and the Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site.
