As spring approaches, this
is the time of the year we start seeing an influx of tourism. Starting with
skiers on spring break, we see a fairly steady stream of visitors from now
until summer.
Sometimes locals have a
tendency to complain about a more crowded town with more pedestrians and
difficult parking. However, tourism is such a vital part of our commerce and
economy in Durango, and we are so thankful for the part it plays for so many of
our businesses.
From restaurants to hotels,
from shops to outdoor adventure companies, everyone benefits from having more
people in town.
As a town, Durango has
really increased the overall community effort to promote tourism. The Downtown
Durango area has focused on creating events to bring visitors back. Such events
include the Taste of Durango, the Durango Wine Experience, the Iron Horse bike
race, Fiesta Days, Snowdown, and the list goes on. Of course other events, such
as the Motorcycle Rally and Music in the Mountains create additional
opportunities to visit Durango.
Along with the events,
Durango has truly improved its overall experience. We offer a mixture of
restaurants—local traditions and gourmet dining. We also have art galleries and
all types of shops downtown.
We are so proud to live in
this town and enjoy all it has to offer. We are also grateful for the visitors
who come to Durango—they help boost the economy and encourage the continual
enhancement and improvement of our town. In many ways, the tourism in Durango
keeps our businesses thriving. With all we have to offer, it comes as no
surprise that visitors would return multiple times. So as the town starts to
feel more full and crowded, we will remember all of the positives tourists
bring to our town, and gladly welcome them.
