Just a very quick post today. Part of my plan for economic development is encouraging more tourism and so I was happy to see news today that ads promoting tourism will hit Dallas, Chicago, and Phoenix this week.
However, I think we should be investing even more in tourism and should not only continue our presence in those markets but expand to Kansas City, Oklahoma City, Omaha, and perhaps one or two other markets in neighboring regions. Those markets are cheaper, closer, and frankly have more reason to come visit the diverse landscape of Colorado.
I'm afraid the budget next year might see decreased revenues from tourism that are a result of a snow-less winter; investing in tourism now would be a wise choice so that we rebound quickly.
