AI for Montana Tourism
AI chatbots for tourism businesses. Trip questions, booking policies, gear requirements. Flathead Valley, Glacier, Whitefish.
The Reality
Some tourism businesses in Montana have AI chatbots. Some don't. Neither approach is "right"—it depends on your specific situation.
What AI Actually Does for Tourism
Answers Repetitive Questions
Your chatbot handles: "What should I bring?" "Do you run trips in the rain?" "What's the age minimum?" "How do I book for a group?"
You're not answering these 30 times a day anymore.
Keeps Information Accurate
Your rates, availability, and trip descriptions update in one place—your website, Google, and chatbot all sync automatically. No more "website says one price, you charge another."
Handles After-Hours Inquiries
Someone looks up your rafting company at 7pm about tomorrow's trip. Your chatbot answers their questions. They book with you instead of calling the place that picked up.
When It's Worth It
You probably need this if:
- You get 20+ calls/week with the same questions
- Your staff spends significant time on basic inquiries
- You're missing calls during busy periods
- Your online info is often outdated
You probably don't need this if:
- You get fewer than 10 calls/week
- Most questions are complex or custom
- You have staff handling phones well already
- You change your offerings constantly

Honest Assessment
AI chatbots work well for tourism businesses that get repetitive questions and want to free up staff time. They don't work well for places where every inquiry is unique or highly personal.
