That’s what they should tell you. I think their marketing people have never been outside the state, so they think being anti-social and people-hating doesn’t just attract celebrities, but fun-loving, free-spending tourists, too. Bzzz, wrong.

People LEAVE rural places ON PURPOSE to be in cities. Okay, yeah, it isn’t perfect, but without other human beings, often, there’s nothing to do, or buy, and no jobs. Counting on “city folk” to hate their choice to live in a city is a bit of a gamble.

Your campaign is much better. And it could include a mention of how cheap things are there (but don’t tell anyone they’ll have to sell a child to afford flying to Montana). I think they should also stick with selling people on skiing, white water rafting, national parks, etc. It isn’t much, but that’s all they have.
