“The skills from MTM I’m using in my career is the ability to recognize core issues in tourism sustainability from local issues like housing and STR capacity programs to understanding the ‘pull’ and ‘push’ factors driving our tourists and second home owners to Colorado whether it be the drive for outdoor adventure, the mountains, or other forms of tourism recent legalizations have brought Colorado as well as push factors due to criminalization causing trends like ‘abortion vacations’ to other states and more.”
