May 15, 2024 – Colorado Springs, Colo. – Starting May 19, Visit Colorado Springs is joining the U.S. Travel Association in celebrating National Travel and Tourism Week (NTTW).
Every year, the tourism industry rallies together during May for NTTW. From economic growth to personal wellbeing, travel has major positive impacts, not just for travelers, but for residents as well.
