The Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce knows that the success of our business community and economy is tied directly to the health of our environment and community. Jackson Hole is one of the most beautiful places on earth, with stunning vistas and pristine wildlands, an abundance of wildlife, unparalleled recreational opportunities, authentic western heritage, and a vibrant cultural and local business community. In order to protect, promote, and sustain these qualities and become a true sustainable tourism destination, Jackson Hole businesses, local government, and nongovernmental organizations have been implementing sustainability measures in our buildings and infrastructure, energy sources, operations, and logistics. Importantly, our community is working together to protect and sustain what makes the experience of being here authentic and treasured for visitors and residents alike.

National Geographic Geotourism Initiative
The Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce is pleased to work with National Geographic on the Greater Yellowstone Geotourism Mapguide and website. According to National Geographic, Geotourism is tourism that sustains or enhances the geographical character of a place — its environment, culture, aesthetics, heritage, and the well-being of its residents. Through this site we invite you to visit the Greater Yellowstone Region in a way that allows you to discover and experience the authenticity of our region. Visit the National Geographic Center for Sustainable Destinations for tips on how to be a geotraveler!
