EcoTourism

Big Sky, a winter and summer adventure getaway spot, is using Ecotourism to preserve and protect the area known as Big Sky Country. From fishing the world class local waters to enjoying the exciting powder skiing, it's important to remember to take care of and protect the land of the open sky.

Big Sky touts itself as a "land of your own", with skiing, fishing, biking and hiking unlike anywhere else in the world. Preserving the outdoor enthusiast's paradise is not just up to the locals; it is something that all visitors to the area need to consider. By utilizing the Ecotourism guidelines outlined below and following your own ethical standards we can all work together to protect what nature intended us to enjoy.

-Do your homework. Research hotels and tour companies that have Ecotourism policies in place..
-Look for a lodging property that has eco friendly standards.
-Choose eco minded activities. Biking, hiking, whitewater rafting and kayaking can be green activities,
depending on the tour operator.
- Respect your environment. Leave a minimal impact on your surroundings so that others may enjoy it for years to come.
-Request paperless communication. Invoicing and receipts can all be done electronically.
-Go local. Support local companies and organizations that employ environmentally sensible practices.
