Executive Summary
The purpose of this document is to provide an analysis of the tourism industry in the City
of Fort Collins. Tourism can be divided into conventions, business travelers, leisure
travelers and households that reside outside of Fort Collins but shop within the city. This
study presents two perspectives on this industry that highlights the role of tourism in the
local economy. The first is the current level of tourism emanating from the above
sources in terms of contributing to economic activity and tax revenue for our city. The
second perspective emphasizes the role of the Fort Collins Convention and Visitors
Bureau (FCCVB) in terms of attracting new conventions and other events to the city.
Total tourism is responsible for 2.2% of economic activity in Fort Collins and 16.6% of
tax revenue collected by the city. Tourism expenditures are made in lodging, restaurants
and retail, which all charge a sales tax and thus contribute significantly to city tax
revenue.
The FCCVB is responsible for attracting religious conventions, agricultural events, youth
sport events and association meetings. The table below presents the economic impact for
each of the four events in terms of the tax revenue earned and also the increase in
household income for local residents. The last row sums the two values and represents a
measure of the economic gain. As an example, a single youth sport event contributes
$0.309 million in tax revenue and $1.78 million in household income for Fort Collins
residents. The youth sports event has the largest economic impact of $2.1 million while
the association convention has the smallest total impact of $96,000. These
conventions/events also contribute to increases in tax revenue at a faster rate than the
growth in the number of new households migrating into the city. This results in the city
having the opportunity to increase the quality of city service such as police and fire.
There are a multiple number of these conventions and sporting events each year in Fort
Collins and the total economic impact for all events is $17.5 million. Our analysis
reveals that the FCCVB generates significant tax revenue for the city as well as
contributing to income for all levels of households.
An important outcome of expanding tourism in Fort Collins is housing becomes more
affordable for lower income earning groups and reduces income inequality in the city.

I. Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide an analysis of the tourism industry in the City
of Fort Collins. Tourism can be divided into several different categories. The city hosts
a variety of conventions that brings in people from all over the country and the associated
expenditures helps stimulate the economy. A second component is business travelers that
visit our city in order to conduct business with local commercial entities. The third
component is the leisure traveler that visits our city for recreational interests. A fourth
factor is households that live outside of Fort Collins but do some shopping in our city.
This study presents two perspectives on this industry that highlight the role of tourism in
the local economy. The first is the current level of tourism emanating from the above
sources in terms of contributing to economic activity and tax revenue for our city. The
second perspective emphasizes the role of the Fort Collins Convention and Visitors
Bureau (FCCVB) in terms of attracting new conventions and other events to the city.
The FCCVB plays an important role in helping maintain economic growth for the city as
well as contributing substantially to growth in city tax revenue.
The method we use to address these issues is a computable general equilibrium (CGE)
model for the City of Fort Collins. A description of the model is in appendix A. This
model has been used by the city to evaluate use tax rebates, the impact of sales tax rate
increases, past tourism issues and the choice of whether to zone undeveloped land for
retail or manufacturing uses. In addition, this model has been used to produce four Ph.D.
graduates at Colorado State University, eight current students in process of completing
their dissertations and six peer reviewed journal articles.
The remainder of the report is divided into several sections. Section II presents the
impact of the current level of tourism on economic activity and tax revenue in the Fort
Collins economy. Section III examines the four primary types of tourism that can be
attracted by the FCCVB and the associated economic impacts. Section IV is the
conclusion.
II. The Economic Impact of Tourism
It is important to define the sectors that make up the tourism sector in the Fort Collins
economy. It is assumed that all economic activity and tax revenue generated by the
lodging sector is a direct result of tourism. This includes the full service hotels, the
limited service hotels and the motels in the city. The other two primary sectors that also
reflect the level of tourism is the retail and restaurant sectors. Most studies on tourism
conclude that expenditures are made on lodging, retail and restaurants. Our analysis
follows this logic.
11
Tourism is an interesting sector in Fort Collins given that it is small in terms of
employment and output but it contributes a significant component to total tax revenue for
the city. The number of workers in the lodging sector combined with approximately 35%
of employment in retail and restaurant accounts for 4,538 workers of the 64,284 total
workers in the economy.' The tourism sector employs 7% of the workforce in our
economy and accounts for 2.2% of total production in the economy.
An important characteristic of the tourism sector is that it is tax intensive since lodging,
retail and restaurants all charge a sales tax. Our estimates indicate that the tourism
sectors accounts for 16.6% of total tax revenue for the City of Fort Collins.
III. Direct Contributions of the Fort Collins Convention and Visitors Bureau
The FCCVB expends resources to attract a variety of different events that draws
individuals, families, conventioneers and athletes to Fort Collins. There are four
particular events that Fort Collins specializes in. They are religious conventions,
specialty agricultural and animal events, youth sports and association functions.' Data
was collected by the FCCVB on the expenditure patterns for lodging, retail and
restaurants by all four events. The data was initially collected for expenditures per
participant for each of the four functions.3 The expenditures were scaled by the number
of participants for each function. The expenditure patterns appear in Table 1. The youth
sports events result in the most expenditures and the religion convention is second.
1 It has been estimated that approximately 35 % of the workers in retail and restaurants accommodate the
tourism sector in the Fort Collins economy. This has been determined by some informal surveying by the
Finance Department in 1998.
2 The appendix contains a more complete description of the four events as well as specific expenditure
patterns per participant.
3 The expenditures collected per participant were reasonable given my experience in tourism analysis.

Convention and Visitor Services
BACKGROUND
The City of Fort Collins adopted a lodging tax on March 31, 1984. The tax was to be used by
the city for the purpose of acquiring facilities and promoting tourism, conventions and other
activities which utilize public accommodations within the city and for the purpose of studying and
reducing the impact of such activities upon the facilities and infrastructure of the city.
The City has contracted with the Fort Collins Convention and Visitors Bureau for twenty years to
provide various convention and visitor services. The current contract will end on March 31,
2006. The Fort Collins Convention and Visitors Bureau has also contracted with the City to
provide services related to the state welcome center in Fort Collins. This is a separate contract
in the amount of $ 49,188.
A study "Tourism in the Local Economy" was completed in 2005. The study is attached as
EXHIBIT'W'. The results show a significant contribution to the local economy from the
hospitality sector. It also suggests that there is room for significant improvement in this sector of
the economy.
The City is soliciting proposals to provide convention and visitor services outlined in the
following scope of work and those which would capitalize on the opportunities for growth
outlined in the study.

IV. Simulation Results
This section presents the economic impact of the expenditure amounts from the four
types of functions that were presented in Table 1. We consider the economic impact
from two perspectives. First, we examine each single event with an emphasis on the
effects on employment, general economic activity, household income and tax revenue.
The next exercise emphasizes that there are multiple events for each category in a given
year, so we also provide the economic impact of all events in the city. As an example,
the city averages 2.7 religious conventions annually, with Jehovah's Witnesses occurring
annually, and Campus Crusade for Christ occurring every other year. Due to the
extended length of the Campus Crusade event, it is factored as an average of 1.5 events.
In addition, the city averages 3 agricultural events, 2.5 youth events and 3 association
events annually. Convention bookings are based on the last year's bookings of the
FCCVB.
Table 2 presents the economic impact of the four single events. The youth convention
has the largest impact in terms of employment, general economic activity and tax
revenue. This is due to the large number of participants in this event. Tax revenue per
new household is $8,584. Given that tax revenue per household in the base data is
$2,178, all four cases result in larger tax revenue per household, which could increase the
quality of city services for all residents. The model predicts that 36 new households will
locate in Fort Collins due to the youth convention and given that there are 40,119
households in the city, the addition of the new households is relatively small. The
religion convention has the second largest impact of the four events.
Table 3 presents the results regarding the change in household income for the Fort
Collins residents. Table Al in the appendix provides a description of the six household
groups. The religion convention causes household income to increase by $1.71 million or
a 0.10% increase. An interesting aspect of all four scenarios is that income increases
by a greater percentage amount for the lower income earning households (HH1-
11113) since most workers in the tourism industry are low wage earners. The
increased demand for low wage workers as the tourism sector expands drives up
wages for this labor group. As an example, in the religion convention case, real
household income increases by 0.34% for Hill, 0.19% for HH2 and only 0.08% for
HH6. An important outcome of expanding tourism in Fort Collins is housing becomes
more affordable for lower income earning groups and reduces income inequality in the
city.
Table 4 presents summary results for all four cases. This table sums the increase in
household income and total tax revenue, which is the direct gain to the city and its
residents. Consistent with previous arguments, the youth event results in a $2.1 million
increase for the city and its residents, the religion convention results in a $1.99 million
increase, the agricultural event results in a $0.526 million increase and the association
convention causes a $0.096 million increase. The total impact of all four events is $4.72
million.

As stated above, the City hosts multiple conventions and events in a given year. The
FCCVB has calculated that on average the City hosts 1.5 religious conventions, 3
agricultural events, 2.5 youth events and 3 association events annually. Tables 5, 6 and 7
provide the economic impact of the multiple events in all four categories. When
considering the total impact of all conventions/events per group, the religion conventions
contributes slightly more than the youth sports events in terms of economic growth,
household income and tax revenue. However, the differences in tax revenue per new
household across the four cases have diminished significantly. Tax revenue per new
household for youth sports, religious conventions, agricultural events and association
events are $4,623, $4,362, $4,306 and $4,031. The compression of these results is due to
the nonlinearities of the model. Table 8 indicates that the total economic gain to the city
and residents for all events is $17.5 million.
IV. Conclusion
Our analysis concludes that the tax intensive nature of tourism sector provides an
efficient method for the city to collect tax revenue. Conventioneers and tourists come to
the city and their expenditures on lodging, retail and restaurants results in significant
gains in tax revenue. Tourism also results in larger percentage gains for the lower
income earning households, which reduces income inequality.
In times of increased competition for retail sales tax dollars with respect to the growth in
retail outlets in the 1-25 corridor, tourism offers an additional source of tax revenue.
Increasing the number of conventions in the city can provide important tax dollars for the
city.
