Listing Guidelines
There is no charge to have a listing on VisitLaramie.org. However, all required information must be filled out and guidelines met to obtain approval.
With the exception of meeting, wedding, and conference services, the listings on visitlaramie.org are visitor-facing and must be a driver of tourism. Largely, whether or not a business or service qualifies for a listing can be answered by the question, "Is this business an activity or experience that would prompt a leisure traveler to plan a trip to Laramie rather than elsewhere?" For the most part, we do not post community services like grocery stores, vehicle repair, salons, or medical services, even though these types of businesses are resources utilized by visitors regularly. These community services are not themselves a unique driver of tourism.
Some other considerations that will qualify or disqualify a business:
-
Whether the business is a bookable leisure activity.
-
Whether the business has a physical location in our county with regular hours open to visitors.
-
Whether visitors are common customers for your business or service.
-
Whether the business is open to the general public.
-
Whether the business is an event planning resource (for weddings, conferences, or meetings).
Request an Account:
Before creating a new account request, please check that your business does not already exist on VisitLaramie.org by searching for your business in the top right corner. Many of our local businesses already have accounts that we had previously posted to the website. However, if you believe your business qualifies for a listing and is not already shown, fill out our account qualification form here. The creation of an account is up to the discretion of the Albany County Tourism Board. To gain access to an account that already exists, reach out to Emma at events[at]visitlaramie.org or call 307-745-4195.
Visit Laramie reviews all requests before going live and reserves the right to approve/ decline and/or edit any business listing/account request.

This is a great free benefit offered to all local businesses and event promoters to help promote your event. The main page is seen by nearly 2,000 monthly potential visitors and residents and is a top 5 page on our website. To be considered for our calendar, your event must meet the guidelines detailed in our event submission guidelines.
Logging in with the industry portal is a great way to streamline the event submission process. It gives the option to copy previous event details, which makes things super convenient.
