Denver & Colorado Tourism Hall of Fame

Tourism is the second largest industry in Denver, generating $3.1 billion in annual spending, while supporting 65,000 jobs. Since 1999, the Denver & Colorado Tourism Hall of Fame has honored a very select group of men and women for the outstanding contributions they have made to this industry.

New members are inducted at the annual Denver & Colorado Tourism Hall of Fame dinner, a fundraising event for the VISIT DENVER Foundation, which has distributed hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarship funds to Colorado students pursing higher education in the field of travel and tourism. Nominations are submitted by VISIT DENVER members, with the final selection made by a committee comprised of past chairs of the VISIT DENVER Board of Directors.
