Denver & Colorado Tourism Hall of Fame
The goal of the Denver & Colorado Tourism Hall of Fame Dinner and Silent Auction is to honor Denver’s top leaders in the tourism and convention industry and also to raise funds for the VISIT DENVER Foundation, which underwrites scholarships for students pursuing degrees in the hospitality industry.
The Denver & Colorado Tourism Hall of Fame is the highest award given by Denver’s travel industry, honoring outstanding individuals who have played a significant role in making Denver and Colorado world-class convention and tourism destinations. Tourism Star awards are presented to organizations and attractions that had a significant impact on Denver’s tourism industry during the year.
This year’s Tourism Hall of Fame inductees are Pat Bowlen (Denver Broncos), Curtis Fentress (Fentress Architects) and Walter Isenberg (Sage Hospitality).
This year’s Tourism Star Award recipients are SportAccord, the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Scientific & Cultural Facilities District (SCFD).
Nominations for the Denver & Colorado Tourism Hall of Fame originate from peers, co-workers and members of the tourism and hospitality industry in the Mile High City.
