SUMMARY
Some people think there's nothing in Montana. The Montana Office of Tourism and its agency partners took that perception and created a campaign to attract the Geotraveler, a target audience who appreciates Montana's nothingness. To increase awareness and intent to travel to Montana, Montana's FY10 campaign let the state sell itself with stunning imagery and a headline of "There's Nothing Here". Montana's awareness as a travel destination increased 36% and intent to travel nearly doubled over FY09. And in July 2010, Montana claimed the nation's highest hotel occupancy rate.
