DENVER, Colo. (April 30, 2021) — National Travel and Tourism Week (NTTW) will take place May 2-8, 2021 and is the annual celebration of the contributions of the U.S. travel industry.
DENVER -- A leading NGO focused on the global advancement of sustainable tourism has named Colorado Tourism Office (CTO) Director Cathy Ritter among five new trustees selected to bring fresh perspectives to its work.
As springtime starts calling more of us into the outdoors, it’s important to be aware that human activity can put extra stress on wildlife surviving on depleted food supplies. This month, we hope all of you will join us in educating residents and visitors alike to care for the extraordinarily diverse populations of wild animals that call Colorado home.
Colorado was awarded two CARES Act Recovery Assistance planning grants from the U.S. Economic Development Administration to support Colorado’s economic recovery, including tourism, from the impacts of COVID-19.
The two programs are outlined below to help our partners identify which programs are relevant for their communities. Communities are eligible to participate in both programs.
With the first day of spring right around the corner and warmer days on the horizon, so many are feeling the urge to get outside with special buddies for longer walks and hikes.
That's why this month, we hope you'll join us in encouraging residents and visitors alike to practice responsible recreation with their pets. As we know, few things irritate outdoor stewards more than seeing wildlife disrupted by unleashed dogs or finding a poop bag on a favorite trail.
The Colorado Rural Academy for Tourism (CRAFT) Recovery Mentor program provides up to 50 hours of mentoring for Colorado tourism partners to advance one or more tourism strategies that bolsters their response to a recent crisis or natural disaster.
As part of the Coalition, you have access to monthly messaging to encourage stewardship of Colorado's precious resources. See below for messages you are welcome to share throughout February to promote safe and responsible travel!
