Reach the World: Free Workshop Helps Cody Businesses Tap Into International Tourism

Mar 13, 2026

If you are interested in bringing in more visitors from Europe or other international locations to your business, this workshop hosted by Park County Travel Councill will help you learn exactly how to do that.

Walking the boardwalks in Yellowstone, it’s clear that the world visits Yellowstone. If people on other continents don’t know where Wyoming is, or even Yellowstone, they know Old Faithful Geyser. This recognition of Cody’s backyard amazes our local world travelers.

In Europe, many people learned about our West through comic books, movies, and TV shows. The enchantment with the Wild West continues today. They want to visit this area. Cody provides the perfect place for them to experience the West.

The Chicago flight coming this summer is aimed at making it easier for those in Europe to reach the East Entrance to Yellowstone and all we have to offer in Cody. Complimenting this, Park County Travel Council (PCTC/CodyYellowstone) plans to hold a free workshop on March 26, 2026, to help local businesses understand how to work with receptives – partners that help book reservations for international tourists.

Working with Receptives Workshop

The Wyoming Office of Tourism, in partnership with the Park County Travel Council (PCTC), is excited to introduce a new “Working with Receptives” workshop, designed to simplify and open the path to working with international markets for Wyoming businesses.

International visitors play a key role in supporting year-round business, strengthening local economies, and boosting the state as a whole. However, navigating the international tourism space can feel overwhelming. This in-person workshop breaks everything down into clear, practical steps.

Participants will hear directly from a Receptive Tour Operator and fellow partners about the real-world benefits of engaging with international markets, including:

  • Filling gaps during slower seasons
  • Highlighting your unique offerings
  • Connecting with global audiences without costly marketing campaigns or added risk

Receptive operators offer strategic advantages such as established networks, streamlined logistics, access to high-value travelers, and simplified operations—allowing you to focus on creating exceptional visitor experiences while growing your business.

Before attending, please take a moment to watch the introductory video , which provides helpful context about international tourism.
