Visit Golden has a new strategic plan, with a new mantra: "Tourism in Golden exists to serve the people who live here." A recent resident poll rated satisfaction with tourism at 2.6 out of 5. The Marking Board wants to improve residents' views on tourism.
To learn more about resident sentiment, they "...sat down with the people who run Golden's hotels, and with Visit Golden and City of Golden staff. [They] also had conversations with Coors, the Mayor, the Welcome Center, the School of Mines, Clayworks, the Chamber, and Fossil Trace, and conducted interviews in Spanish along Clear Creek."
In response to those findings, Visit Golden will work to more evenly distribute visitation throughout the year and encourage visitors to treat the town more carefully (less littering, less erosion of Clear Creek). They also hope to persuade residents of the value of tourism and provide extra perks to locals.
The Strategic Plan is included on pp 2-12 of the meeting packet. This is followed by the Business Plan (pp 13-24) and the Budget (pp 25, 26).
