The Breckenridge Town Council, Breckenridge Tourism Office, many key stakeholders, and a wide breadth of our local community and business members have aligned around this plan to realize the vision.

Breckenridge was recently awarded Global Sustainability Tourism Council's Mountain IDEAL sustainable destination certification. This rigorous exercise provides 3rd party verification and review of our sustainability efforts as a community at the destination level. A Stewardship Council has been formed to shepherd this process and will be responsible for implementing recommendations and recertification in the future. 

Our vision is to create harmony of quality of life for residents and quality of place for visitors.

Expand initiatives to increase overnight visitor dispersal, spend, and length of stay across a wider breadth of calendar months and the destination itself to ensure a more consistent and diversified visitor economy.

Formed in 1980, Breckenridge's Historic District is one of the state's largest and is a defining element of Breck's identity. Originally a mining town that provided services for the local mines, most of the historically significant buildings are from the Victorian Age.

CHARACTER

Ensure that locals and visitors are always aware that the most valuable asset for Breckenridge is the authenticity of the Town and the character of the people. Much of that is based on the fact that a high percentage of people who work in Breckenridge live within the town limits.

Develop a comprehensive series of initiatives to get people out of their cars as much as possible to maintain the outdoor quality of life that both locals and visitors are craving, as well as minimize the environmental impacts in the region.
