Most people know that tourism is a major contributor to the Colorado economy. But did you know that the $27 billion dollars spent on travel in 2022 provided you — and every household in Colorado — an average of $760 in tax benefits? For some, like those in San Miguel County, the savings were as high as $9,000!
Tourism is also directly responsible for 176,800 jobs in Colorado. And towns, like Breckenridge and Durango, are able to support a wide variety of attractions like their amazing restaurants, because of the patronage of tourists. The same applies for airports, public transportation, events and public lands. Visitors spending their money in Colorado ultimately help enhance the quality of life for all of us.
The Colorado Tourism Office is committed to bringing value to residents and visitors alike. We prioritize partnering with destinations across the state to deliver high-quality traveler experiences that enhance local quality of life and protect our natural and cultural resources.
