RESPONSIBLY CAMPAIGN TO REMIND
PEOPLE TO CONTINUE THROUGHOUT
AND BEYOND OUR HOLIDAY WEEKEND.
WELL THIS WILL COME AS
COLORADO WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE
A RELATIVELY LOW COVID
POSITIVITY RATE.
TODAY'S POSITIVITY RATE JUST
2.39%.
ANYTHING UNDER FIVE IS
CONSIDERED GOOD.
IN COLORADO, THEY ARE TAKING
THE GO AHEAD TO GET OUT
SERIOUSLY.
WE SAW FIRST HAND THE ROADS
WERE PACKED TODAY.
IT MIGHT LOOK DIFFERENT THIS
YEAR, BUT PEOPLE ARE SET ON
ENJOYING THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND?
Reporter: WELL, THEY ARE
GIVING IT A TRY, YEAH, AS YOU
SAID THEY WERE PACKED THIS
EVENING BY PEOPLE WHO WERE
LOOKING FOR MORE SPACE.
IN A WAY IT IS A SIGN OF
SUCCESS FOR COLORADO VERSES
WHAT IS GOING ON IN A LOT OF
OTHER STATES.
SO OUR SUCCESS WOULD LEAD TO A
LITTLE INCONVENIENCE.
Reporter: THE FAMILY FROM
AURORA HAD GONE FAR ENOUGH.
THEY WERE IN THE CAR FOR TWO
HOURS.
Reporter: THEY MADE IT TO A
PULL OFF IN EVERGREEN IN THEIR
WAY TO WINTER PARK.
AND GET AWAY FROM THAT
HUSTLE AND BUSTLE, BUT IT IS
FOLLOWING US.
Reporter: THE CARS AND THE
PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER, THEY ARE
LOOKING FOR A BREAK FROM THAT
CORONAVIRUS.
I THINK WE WILL HAVE A GOOD
CONTROL ON IT.
THEY CAME FROM PENNSYLVANIA.
AND BEEN QUARANTINED FOR A
WHILE NOW, JUST WANTED TO GET
OUT TO ENJOY THE WEATHER, IT'S
BEAUTIFUL.
AND IN MANY RESORT TOWNS,
THINGS ARE GOING PRETTY WELL.
IF YOU WERE TO TELL ME THAT
WE WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT DOWN
IN THE SALES TAX.
Reporter: THEY HEAD THE VAIL
VALLEY PARTNERSHIP.
I WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE
BANK AND RUN WITH IT, I WOULD
HAVE NEVER BELIEVED YOU.
Reporter: RESERVATIONS ARE
DOWN ABOUT 30%, BUT THE
RENTALS, THEY ARE DRAWING
PEOPLE LOOKING FOR.
LONGER STAYS, FLEXIBILITY,
KITCHENS IN THEIR UNITS FOR
PEOPLE TO BRING THEIR GROCERIES
IN.
AND PEOPLE ARE COMING IN,
ARRIVING LESS BY PLANE.
WE'RE SEEING VISITORS
DRIVING FROM HOUSTON, FROM
CHICAGO, FROM MINNEAPOLIS.
1,100, 1,200 MILES TO DRIVE TO
COLORADO.
AND THEY ARE STAYING LONGER.
Reporter: WHICH MAY BE
PUTTING THEM ON THE HIGHWAY AND
IN THE MOOD TO NEVER GO HOME.
I'M MOVING HERE.
I LOVE IT HERE.
THAT WILL START FOR A LOT OF
PEOPLE.
I TALKED TO RETAILERS AS WELL
AS MANUFACTURERS THIS WEEK WHO
TOLD US THAT THE SALES OF THE
OUTDOOR BRISKS.
AND IN ONE EXAMPLE WHERE THE
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMING IN FOR
BIKES IN THEIR PRICE RANGE,
FINDING THAT THEY HAVE NONE,
THEY ARE WILLINGLY SPENDING
NEARLY TWICE AS MUCH.
