Join Good Business Colorado as we bring together leaders in the tourism industry and public health for an update on the current state of Tourism in Colorado. Our panel will consist of members from the Colorado Tourism Office, Destination Colorado, Downtown Colorado, Inc, and the Chaffee County Health Dept Director. We will discuss how and why travel restrictions may differ between the state and individual counties. We will also hear from our panelists how their organizations are planning to rebound from COVID-19. Following our discussion, we will host breakout sessions allowing participants to network and brainstorm ideas on how to move forward within their own organizations.
This virtual discussion and networking session was created in an effort to update, support, and connect Colorado Businesses.
