In Eastern Montana, locals look to tourism to soften blow of lost oil dollars
December 4, 2016 /
There’s a term for visitors who come to an area seeking direct connection with local people, landmarks and customs: geo-tourists.
While oil prices lifted a little last week at news of OPEC production cuts, drilling in the Bakken shale in nearby North Dakota is far below levels from a few years ago.
So people here are looking to attract more visitors to experience something permanent in this area, the raw beauty of rural Montana — and spend money.
