Tourism is thriving year round in northwest Montana

An unexpected greeting was scheduled for a passenger flying into Glacier Park International Airport on Saturday afternoon.

Following a record-breaking summer, the airport’s management and Kalispell Chamber of Commerce turned out to honor its 247,446th visitor — the highest number the airport has ever seen.

This has been a year of records for tourism in northwest Montana.
