What's your WY? Do you come for the views or perspective? For a richer experience or wide-open spaces? Whatever your "WY" is, share it!
The Wyoming Office of Tourism and the Carbon County Visitors Council invites you to join us as we kick off the summer season by showing our Wyoming pride statewide.
“This summer we have seen that travel and tourism is resilient and has returned to Carbon County.” said Leslie Jefferson, CEO, CCVC. “With the Summer Season coming to an end, we are relaunching our Visitor Journey A2D (Arrival to Departure). The course is 100% free to residents of Carbon County.”
The Carbon County WY – Visitor Journey A2D is a combination of online learning along with a live class that ties the training together. The time required to complete the course is roughly two (2) hours of online learning, broken into 15-20 minute segments, and a 60 to 75-minute live class.“
As tourism season picks up, the Carbon County Visitors’ Council (CCVC) is excited to announce the arrival of the new guides which are currently available for pickup at the Carbon County Visitors Council office in Rawlins and at various businesses throughout the county. You can also download a guide or request that a guide be mailed to you.
The Carbon County Visitors Council needs your help. Submit your favorite photo taken in Carbon County into our annual photo contest for the chance to win one of 3 cash prizes ($150 for 1st / $100 for 2nd / $50 for honorable mention). Your photos will be used to promote Carbon County, Wyoming as a travel destination to potential visitors to our area.
This is an ever changing event list that we update as we receive confirmed dates from event coordinators. We encourage you to contact event organizers to confirm details as event dates and times may change.
During NTTW we will honor the spirit of travel in recognition of the industry’s strength, selflessness and resiliency.
Although we cannot meet in person right now, we can stay connected, unified and supportive of each other, rallying around the #SpiritOfTravel. In times of uncertainty, the spirit of travel brings joy and hope to millions. The theme for National Travel and Tourism Week this year is the “Spirit of Travel”. The Spirit of Travel is meant to spotlight the people and places that make up America’s travel industry.
Our first priority is the health and well-being of visitors, guests, hospitality workers and our local communities. We are working together to keep our friends and neighbors safe in accordance with state and national guidance.
