Town of Vail
Attn: Mrs. Margaret A. Osterfoss
Mayor

USA
St. Moritz, December 8, 1992 HPD/gb
- Dear Mrs Mayor
You were so kind to personally welcome the St. Moritz Delegation to Vail
and to take care of us. Your friends and you made our short stay an un-
forgettable experience. On behalf of the whole delegation I want to thank
you for your great attention and generous hospitality you paid to all of us.
We invite you to form an own delegation and come to see us over here
'on the roof top of good old Europe'. As mentioned, the second half of
March, summer (with close by Italy) or the second half of January would be
ideal periods in order to show you as much as possible of our winter or
summer attractions.
In the meantime Vail Associates will set up a small task-force in order
to establish a working paper with suggestions how to intensify our co-
operation, particularly in the fields of education and marketing.
I am looking forward to seeing you soon again. Please pass my best wishes
and personal regards also to your husband. Again many thanks from
St. Moritz.
Sincerely,
ST. MORIIZ TOURIST BOARD

Colorado Tourism at Risk with the Passage of Amendment #1
At the December 10, Colorado Tourism Board Advisory Council meeting, the impact of Amendment #1 on
Colorado Tourism was discussed at great length. The fact is that on June 30, 1993, the 2/lOths of one percent tax
that funds the Colorado Tourism Board will expire. Passage of Amendment #1 will not allow the legislature to
reenact the tax. The Advisory Council adopted the following position: "All members and the Advisory Council
support our partner, the Colorado Tourism Board with human and financial resources. Ail members of the
Advisory Council will solicit support from all of the businesses they represent".
Currently the industry is taking the following actions.
Goal: Find permanent and stable funding to ensure the continuation of our state's tourism promotion.
Actions: 1. Convince the State Legislature to re-authorize by law, the Colorado Tourism Board and give
the Colorado Tourism Board the power to spend money.
2. Have a ballot position in November of 1493.
3. Seek legislative authority to stretch spending throughout fiscal 1993 so as not to lose momentum
before new funding can be approved.
What is the Colorado Tourism Board doing now?
Rich Meredith and the staff of the Colorado Tourism Board have been evaluating the current budget. They
will work within the parameters of the law to educate people as to the value of tourism in our state and help
identify the mood of the voters.
What can private industry do to help protect the 10 year investment in the Colorado Tourism Board?
Be prepared to contribute human and Hnancial resources. Going before the voters will be a labor intensive
and costly endeavor. The staff of the Colorado Tourism Board cannot spend time or money on this endeavor. The
entire state must unite to protect tourism promotion funding.

~ Amendment 2 Backlash Directed at Tourism InduslY ~ '
The passage of Amendment 2 has caused many groups to contact tourism officials around the state in
protest. Some organizations have felt the pressure more than others. -For your benefit, the following information
has been prepared for your use by the Colorado Tourism Board.
Speaking Points Regarding Amendment #2
What is the ~ n's position on Amendment #2?
Is the CTB launching a special campaign th response to Amendment #2 and the threat of boycott?
• As a state agency, it is not appropriate for the Colorado Tourism Board to take a position on Amendment #2 or
to tell communities or businesses how they should respond to this issue.
• We are funded by tax dollars and therefore must respect all points of view.
• Obviously, as the State's tourism promotional organization, we welcome everyone to Colorado.
• We are not doing any specal advertising campaign. Our existing advertising presents a broad based image of
beauty and diversity and targets consumers who enjoy the kinds of activities available here.
What effect will Amendment #2 have on tourism business in Colorado?
• It's really too early to tell what kind of impact, if any, Amendment #2 may have on Colorado Tourism.
This time of year is still early ski season. Our first big push. of destination travelers typically starts to show up a
bit closer to the Christmas holidays.
• We have had the best early season snow in several years, and we're looking forward to a great winter. Business
in our ski resort communities over the Thanksgiving holiday was good.
Has the CTB had many calls regarding Amendment #2? _ _
• Initially, the Colorado Tourism Board had many calls each day (a high of 60 to the business office number).
These were mostly from individuals calling to express their frustration and concern about the passage of
Amendment #2. Many did report that they wouldn't be taking a vacation to Colorado this year. But, how do
you track something like that? Many people wouldn't give a name or phone number. The volume of calls has
diminished to 4-5 per day at this time.
Final Thoughts
• Obviously, we take this situation seriously and are concerned about the potential impact on Colorado. We are
staying in touch with industry partners and other groups to keep ourselves as up-tadate as possible on the
situation.
• The fact is, we have a large gay and lesbian community here in Denver and discrimination issues are just not
something we read about when we pick up our newspapers and listen to broadcast news. The quality of life
here is good and they are part of the community.
_ Things to be watchful for
• When people preface a conversation with mention of how the "boycott" will affect Colorado, ask exactly what
boycott they are referring to. Right now, we know of no official boycott from a national group.
• Actual cancellations from convention groups are few in actuality, two in Denver (56 million), one in Colorado
Springs. Boulder hasn't had a cancellation at this time. Be especially careful not to read to hearsay. Check
fads.

How Should You Respond to Inquiries About Amendment #2?
Ilene Kamsler, Executive V.P. of the Colorado Hotel St Lodging Assodation, has drafted the following letter in
- response to Inquiries her association has received in response to Amendment #2. You are welcome to use all or
portions of this letter in responding to any inquiries you may receive.
December 15, 1992
Ms. Si Mr. Valued Tourist
9826 49th St. #250
New York, N.Y. 11111 -
Dear Ms. & Mr. Valued Tourist,
Thanks for taking the time to contact us concerning the passage of Amendment #2 In Colorado. I am Sony that
you no longer feel comfortable to visit Colorado, even though the Amendment was fumed down by the voters in
many of the popular pockets of the state you would most likely visit.
We, along with other interested organizations in the State want to assure you that the process to repeal this
amendment will go forward.. In the meantime, 3 dties, Aspen, Boulder and Denver have filed a suit to test the
constitutionality of the Amendment vis-a-vis Home Rule cities.
Because we are not sitting idly by, we think a boycott Is the wrong message to send us. Too many individuals and
businesses are hurt by such action, while those who voted to approve the Amendment may feel vindicated.
In any case, I hope you will once again feel comfortable enjoying the beauty and splendor that Colorado offers. If
we can be of help in the future, please do not hesitate to contact our offices.
Sincerely,
Ilene D. Kamsler, CAE
Executive Vice President
Colorado Tourism Board Background Facts:
• The Colorado Tourism Board was created in 1983 (10 years ago this Spring) with the passage of H.B. 1476.
• The CTB is fully funded by the Tourism Promotion Tax, a two tenths of one percent tax (20 cents/S 100)
collected on lodging, restaurant sales, ski lift tickets, admission to private tourist attractions and car rentals, tour
bus and sightseeing tickets.
Last year the Tourism Promotion Tax generated approximately 510.5 million in funds for the promotion of
Colorado.
• The CTB receives no funds from the Colorado General Fund.
• The CTB was created by the Legislature at the request of the tourism industry. Prior to 1983 there was little
funding for tourism promotion at the state level. As competition from other states increased and Colorado lost
market share, the industry went to the Legislature to ask for a consistent funding source so that Colorado could
be competitive nationally.
• Tourism & Travel is the second largest industry in Colorado, bringing in approximately 55.6 billion in revenue.
• Tourism generates about 5335,000 million in state and local taxes.
• Approximately 107,000 Colorado residents are employed in tourism-related jobs.
• Because of the passage of Amendment #1, the Colorado Legislature cannot re-enact funding for the Colorado
Tourism Board. The current CTB legislation has a repeal clause dated June 30, 1993.
• [f the Tourism Promotion Tax is not continued, Colorado will be the only state in the country without a
tourism promotion program.

June, July and August. We're hoping to better that for 1992.

Denver Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau - Tourism a 51.6 Billion Industry for Denver, New Study Finds -
August 18, 1992 -Tourists made a total of 55.4 million pleasure trips to Denver in 1991, adding 31.6 billion to
the dty's economy, according to a new study released today by Longwoods International. Commissioned by
the Denver Metro Convention Si Visitors Bureau and the Colorado Tourism Board, this was the. most
comprehensive study ever undertaken to determine the size and scope of Denver's tourism industry. According
to Bill Siegel, president of Longwoods, the study showed that tourism is an extremely strong industry for
Denver, with the potential for continued growth.
Some of the more interesting findings from the 124 -page report.
• In 1991, 3.2 million American adults visited Denver on at least one overnight pleasure trip. Because of the repeat
visits, there were a total of 5.4 million overnight person-trips to Denver in 1991. Since there were 16.4 million person
trips to Colorado in 1991, that means that about one out of three Colorado pleasure trips included and overnight stay
in Denver.
• During the same period, six million people took pleasure trips that passed through Denver or included some time in
Denver but did not include an overnight stay. In other words, in 1991, more people passed through Denver on
pleasure trips than stayed overnight there. This group of travelers represents a tremendous growth opportunity for -
Denver.
• Denver overnight visitors spent an average of 3.5 nights in the city. 6396 of them stayed with family or friends; 269'0
stayed in hotels and 996 stayed in motels. This works out to 11.9 million room nights with family and friends, 4.9
million room nights in hotels and 1.7 million room nights in motels in 1991.
• The average overnight visitor spent 557.81 per person per day. Of this, 514.94 was spent on local transportation, rental
cars, parking, etc.; 511.46 on accommodations ; 512.64 on food; 514.32 on retail purchases; and 54.46 on
entertainment and recreation.
• Denver visitors came from (in descending order): California, New York, Texas, Illinois, Florida, Iowa, Ohio;
Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Nebraska.
Of Denver's overnight visitors, 4796 arrived by plane and 359'o arrived by private car.
• 489'0 of the Denver's overnight visitors traveled more than 1,000 miles to get here.
• 659'0 of the people visiting Denver also stayed overnight in some other part of Colorado.
• Most popular attractions in Denver according to the research were in order: Coors Brewery, Cherry Creek Shopping
Center, Shops at Tabor Center, Colorado State Capitol, Denver Zoo, Denver Museum of Natural History, Buffalo Bill's
Grave and Museum, Larimer Square, Red Rocks Amphitheater, Colorado History Museum, [MAX Theatre, Flitch
Gardens, Heritage Square.
• The most popular months for Denver's overnight visitors were in rank order, July and June.

--Minutes of the 10/13/92 meeting were reviewed and approved.
--Chairman Steve Miller shared a draft of the proposed
bylaws revisions. It was agreed that the draft would be
reviewed by an attorney, then presented for adoption at the
Annual Board Meeting in December.
--Financials were distributed and reviewed, showing actual
income of $71,542.10 from January to November 1992, and
expenses of $80,483.58, a difference of $8,941.48.
--Josh Hall's studio report, which presented options for
purchasing a used editing system, was discussed. Rather
than purchase a used system for $1,500, the Board asked
that Josh obtain specs and bids for a new editing system,
and provide additional information regarding
recommendations to purchase a new TBC and a remote deck.
--Josh's report also noted completion of the Board's request
to change the lock on the front door. Cost: $67.
--A grant proposal for 1993 general operating support from
TCI was distributed. WCTV will request $17,000 to cover
the studio/office lease for 1993.
--Staff reported that franchise renewal discussions between
TCI and the Town of Vail are running behind schedule. The
Town Attorney will update WCTV when necessary, and involve
the organization in discussions with a cable franchise
consultant hired by the Town to negotiate an agreement.
--Brian Hall recommended staff maintain a communications log
regarding WCTV's relationship with TCI.

--An update on Vail Valley Sunday sponsorships
showed pledges totaling $2,675, with $1,950 designated
for the winter show. The production budget for 22 winter
shows is $5,500. Confirmed underwriters include: KZYR;
Warren & Associates; Town of Vail; Karats; and Hubcap
Brewery. Seven other businesses are considering
proposals. At the Board's suggestion, the Town of Avon
also will be listed as a sponsor.
--An update on Huskie Football showed underwriting of $2,500
and .expenses of $2,940 for the regular season. An
estimated $510 is being spent on post season play for the
first 2 games. At staff's request, the Board agreed to
cover playoff expenses rather than ask the original
sponsors to cover the costs. In the future, football
sponsorships will include coverage of the entire season for
one fee, rather than adding an extra fee for playoff games.
Brian Hall suggested budgeting a 30°s profit for program
sponsorships to cover unanticipated costs.
--At staff's request, the Board authorized Suzanne
to contact an attorney to review the station's liability
forms as part of a risk management review. It was
suggested that Peter Rudy might be willing to review
the liability documents (and bylaws) for a reduced fee.
--A case for support concept for outside funding sources was
reviewed with the Board: WCTV serves as an invaluable
resource in linking the community together in an
environment that can sometimes lose touch with reality.
Before WCTV begins to pursue outside funding sources,
however, staff stressed the need to further develop
community support vvia:F:otary Club; Town of Vail clean-up;
Vi's annual rummage sale; program underwriting;
memberships; and individual contributions by the Board.
--Regarding memberships, the Board agreed to the concept of a
personalized letter writing campaign. Bill Perkins
suggested creation of a membership and sponsorship video
that would feature new and existing members and sponsors.
--It was announced that Josh Hall is no longer teaching the
monthly TV production workshops. Brendan Gallagher has
taken on the project, and will be implementing a second
workshop each month, also.

Re: Proposed Town of Vail Lighting Ordinance
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I would like to express my appreciation for the opportunity
which you extended on Tuesday afternoon, permitting me to
participate in your work session regarding the proposed Town of
Vail lighting ordinance and in your field trip for the review of
the application of the proposed ordinance to existing lighting
situations in the Town of Vail. I found the experience not only
educational with reference to the proposed ordinance, but
reassuring in learning that the concerns of the Town Council and
the Department of Community Development really do not differ a
great deal from the concerns and goals of our clients., i.e., to
perpetuate the beauty of the Town of Vail.
In order to continue this experience of cooperation in
working toward what might be a generally acceptable end result, I
would appreciate being included among those who are contacted
regarding future work sessions related to the proposed lighting
ordinance. Through such notification and our participation, it
is my hope that our clients might have the benefit of a knowledge
of the Town's concerns, and that the Town might benefit from an
increased balance in the public input available to the Council.
Thank you once again for the invitation to join you Tuesday.
