## Resource

Short-term rentals are fueling Montana’s economy with $755 million in revenue last year—thanks to 430,000 stays, 560 jobs, and $800 million added to GDP. Most spending? Concentrated near national parks like Gallatin and Flathead. Guests spend more locally on lodging and shops, staying longer and boosting community engagement. The boom, sparked by pandemic demand, is cooling—but home shares and unique rentals show everyday Montanans are quietly driving this economic engine.
