Hot Springs County, WY. — Hot Springs County is inviting residents to step into a leadership role shaping the future of local tourism.
The Hot Springs County Board of Commissioners has announced an opening on the county’s Travel and Tourism Board, following a recent resignation. The board plays a key role in promoting the area, supporting local businesses, and guiding strategies that bring visitors to the region year round.
The open position is designated for a Hot Springs County representative with experience in the lodging or tourism industry. This ensures that the board continues to reflect the needs and perspectives of the businesses and organizations that directly support the county’s visitor economy.
For communities like Thermopolis and the surrounding Big Horn Basin, tourism is more than just seasonal traffic. It is a vital economic driver that supports small businesses, creates jobs, and highlights the area’s unique natural and cultural assets, from hot springs and museums to outdoor recreation opportunities.
Residents interested in serving are encouraged to submit a County Board Application, which is available online at the county website or in person at the County Clerk’s Office. Applications must be received by April 15, 2026 at 5:00 p.m.
The Board of Commissioners will review applications and make an appointment during their scheduled meeting on April 21, 2026.
Serving on the Travel and Tourism Board offers a meaningful opportunity to help guide how Hot Springs County presents itself to visitors while supporting long term economic growth. For those involved in hospitality, recreation, or tourism services, it is also a chance to directly influence decisions that impact the local industry.
As visitation continues to grow across Wyoming, local leadership like this will play an important role in ensuring that Hot Springs County remains a welcoming and well positioned destination in the years ahead.
