Gary Schluter

In 1987, working with regional transportation company Powder River Transportation (out of Gillette and Denver), Mr. Schluter began Rocky Mountain Holiday Tours—a company set up to assist tour operators in Europe to book their guests into the American West.  In 1997 he bought out the interest of Powder River and has proceeded as the individual owner of what has become the largest “regional” receptive operator for the American West.  

Mr. Schluter has been a member of the Colorado Tourism Board’s International Travel Promotions Committee and was instrumental in having RMHTours named as the “Official Receptive Operator” for the marketing promotion group Rocky Mountain International (European Marketing program for the tourism office of Idaho, Montana, South Dakota and Wyoming).  In 2011, Rocky Mountain Holiday Tours was given the “International Travel” Award at the North Dakota Tourism Conference in recognition of working with International Tour Operators to see that North Dakota was included in drive routes into the region.  RMHTours was the first recipient of this award not from the State of North Dakota (individual, community, or event).
