Montana has long been known as a place to get away from it all but you don’t have to forgo luxury for a rustic retreat.

I know it is my backyard and all, so it’s possible I’m biased - but there is no better place to host a small meeting than Whitefish, Montana. To be fair, I am not the only one who thinks this, I do have backup - Recently, Maritz Travel (one of the country's leading corporate meeting planning groups) brought a group from LPL Financial to Whitefish for a 3-day conference. Their goal was to learn and connect through conference sessions coupled with authentic, outdoor Montana experiences. MNW Destinations partnered with

Not only does this time of year bring the inevitable thoughts of personal resolutions (ahem, go to the gym), but it is also a perfect time for an MNW Destinations Year in Review. MNW Designations (a sister company to Meetings Northwest, Inc.) launched at the end of January 2018 as a solution to groups coming to Montana and needing on-site help from Montana experts. We focused our efforts on the regions we know best: Bozeman/Yellowstone, Missoula, and Flathead Valley/Glacier. Destination Management is not a new concept in the travel

Meeting Professionals International (MPI) could not have timed their November 2018 article highlighting meetings in Montana any better. At least for my blogging purposes. Titled, Open Your Mind, author Maria Lenhart quotes Samantha Lange, National Sales Manager for the Resort at Paws Up, “For many people, Montana is a place they have wondered about and always wanted to go to. It’s a great place to open your mind, disconnect and get back to what’s really important.” We, at MNW Destinations, couldn’t agree more. The article ran in MPI’s monthly

It wouldn’t take long for any of our clients to tell you that we are very proud of our roots in Montana. Five of the seven MNW Destinations staff were born and raised in Montana and the other two have lived here for more than a decade. Montana is home. Homecoming, homeschool, homebody, homeowner, homemaker, homegrown, homeroom, homepage, homeboy (or homegirl) are all words used to describe an event, person, or location that is centered and grounded.

The summer is upon us! For most of us, this means juggling our own work, volunteer, and education schedules with family vacation getaways. This summer, the idea of a “staycation” has been very appealing after a busy spring. Then the kids start: “I’m boooooorrreeeeddd!” Whose idea was the staycation anyway? Let’s take a look at all the activities your local community has to offer to keep everyone engaged, or relaxed, this summer. Parks and Recreation – Take a look at the local parks and recreation

I recently attended the Montana Governor’s Conference on Tourism and Recreation. It is an annual gathering for people in the industry to come together to learn new practices, network with new partners, and find more inspiration to share Montana’s spectacular beauty and authentic experiences. Marc Berejka, Director of Government and Community Affairs at REI, was one of the keynote speakers. He spoke about how an outdoor life is a life well lived and why they created their campaign to awaken a life-long love of the outdoors. Research has shown
