“Interning at the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce was a wonderful experience. The staff was very warm, welcoming, and easy to learn from. During my time I was made aware of the many pertinent issues facing the local community. Debates over taxes and tourism were very interesting to observe from an economic standpoint. I loved reading about different economic indicators that are vital to the success of the tourist industry, such as Yellowstone visitation rates and seasonal airport arrival rates. I was intrigued by the different viewpoints people have about the expanding tourism industry and how this expansion could possibly affect the lives of yearly residents. Jackson Hole does have a rich history and stunning beauty that attracts visitors in the winter and summer, but Jackson Hole also functions more than solely on tourism. It was great to experience firsthand how the Chamber promotes and supports local businesses year-round. The Chamber’s close focus on enhanced customer service makes them a wonderful resource for any business in the area because they are always available to give advice. I was very impressed by the number of events that the Chamber organizes that allow the business leaders in the community to interact and bounce ideas off of each other. Any place blessed with a geographic location like Jackson can thrive economically during ski and peak outdoor seasons, but the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce provides insight and knowledge to promote a healthy year-round economy as well.”
