Jackson Hole travel board renews Chamber visitor services deal

The Jackson Hole Travel and Tourism Board is set to approve a one-year Visitor Services Agreement with the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce, effective July 1 and running through June 30, 2027. The resolution caps the board's FY27 payment at $719,000 and keeps the Chamber under contract to run the visitor services side of the tourism operation Travel and Tourism Board Resolution, Visitor Services Contract with Chamber of Commerce.

This is the latest step in an annual contract that has climbed from $676,500 for FY25 to $697,700 for FY26, then $719,000 for FY27, according to the research file on this agreement. For a county that leans on tourism, the steady increase matters because it shows the cost of keeping visitor information staffed keeps rising, even when the work itself is routine.
