Visit My Smokies

What Visit My Smokies does

Visit My Smokies is a privately held, Tennessee-based digital tourism platform that aggregates vacation planning content and lodging referrals for Sevier County — specifically Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville. The company's core product is a CMS-driven website cataloging over 2,000 cabin, chalet, condo, campground, and bed & breakfast listings, supplemented by area attraction guides, a regional events calendar, digital coupons and cabin specials, weather forecasts, maps and transportation resources, weddings and romance planning content, and a branded "Insider's View" video series distributed via YouTube. Target users are vacationing tourists, family reunion groups, couples and honeymooners, and multi-generational families traveling to the Smoky Mountains. The platform distributes content organically through SEO, an active blog, email newsletter, and social channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), and refers users to a network of lodging partners throughout Sevier County.

Revenue mechanics are not disclosed in source materials. The referral/directory architecture — aggregating listings, coupons, and cabin specials from third-party lodging providers and attractions — is consistent with advertising, sponsored content, and/or referral-fee economics. The company operates with a 1–10 employee headcount and no institutional ownership, public listing, or funding activity is on record; IMEG is credited with website development in the site's footer. No pricing, headcount growth, or capital inputs are available to triangulate run-rate revenue with confidence.
