(CTO), a division of Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT), leads statewide efforts to strengthen Colorado’s visitor economy. According to the most recent Economic Impact data, tourism generates tens of billions of dollars in annual visitor spending, supports hundreds of thousands of jobs across urban and rural communities, and delivers critical state and local tax revenue that funds infrastructure, public safety, and quality-of-life investments. These findings reinforce tourism as one of Colorado’s most resilient and collaborative economic drivers.

Together, these statewide initiatives reflect a shared commitment to stewardship, economic vitality, creativity, and collaboration. As you explore these resources, we invite you to connect, learn, and engage in shaping the future of Colorado’s visitor economy—grounded in professionalism and guided by a true Colorado State of Mind.
