The Wind River Visitors Council’s mission is to “stimulate tourism by increasing awareness of, and encouraging visitation to, the unique destinations, activities and events in Wind River Country.”
The Wind River Visitors Council (WRVC) is located at 100 N 1st Street in Lander, in the same building as the Lander Chamber of Commerce. The WRVC is a Lodging Tax Board and is responsible for promoting the travel and tourism industry in Fremont County and on the Wind River Indian Reservation through expenditures of the Lodging Tax. The Council was formed by a Joint Powers Agreement in 1989 between the Fremont County Commissioners, the cities of Lander and Riverton and the towns of Dubois, Hudson and Shoshoni. 10 Board Members represent the municipalities and are appointed by local City Councils and the Fremont County Commissioners. (Two Board Members represent Dubois, Lander and Riverton—six total, one Board Member represents Hudson and Shoshoni—two total, and two Board Members represent the County)
