The mission of the Colorado Geotourism initiative is to help connect destinations, businesses and allied non-profits throughout Colorado that support the principles of geotourism with like-minded visitors.

The idea for a grass-roots, market driven geotourism initiative took root in Salida, Colorado in Spring 2008. The seeds for the idea for this project germinated among sustainability focused businesses and individuals throughout the Upper Arkansas River Valley.

In Fall 2008, the geotourism project enjoyed an enthusiastic response from attendees at the statewide tourism conference leading to the creation of a statewide geotourism focused website as well as an associated global geotourism community site.

TravelGreenColorado.com provides equal access to locals and tourists as well as destination marketers to tell the stories of the people, places, businesses and non-profits that matter most and carry the past forward to the future. In this way, we believe this site helps pave the way for the democratization of tourism information.
