70 COLORADO CASE STUDY Road Trips Reinvented! Fresh research & insights on marketing to US Road Trips Travelers
71 Inspiring Colorado Road Trips
72 Scenic Drive Motivation 50% Participation 19% Net Motivation 39% Motivation As 2017 Colorado visitors were younger than in 2016, there is less participation in scenic drives and fewer trips are motivated by the activity. In 2016, it was the second-highest trip motivator, but has slipped to third as hiking and backpacking saw growth in both participation and motivation.
73 Other Trip Activities Visitors who take scenic drives participate in an average of 5.7 activities while on their Colorado trip, compared to 5.0 overall. While boating is the activity that scenic drive visitors do more frequently than other visitors, it has very low participation overall. *activity participation as an index where 100 is average and 110 is 10% higher than average and 90 is 10% lower than average Index of Scenic Drive Visitors Trip Activities against All Colorado Visitor Activities* 2017 Index Boating 169 Visiting historical sites 134 Visiting a state or national park 128 Wildlife watching 127 Hot springs 121 River rafting 115 Visiting museums 114 Attending a live music event 114 Sightseeing tour 112 Canoeing or kayaking 112 Hunting 110 Participating in marijuana-related activities 110 Shopping 107 Winery tours 106 Attending a festival or fair 106
74 Other Trip Specifics 4.2 days: Average Visitor 4.4 days: Scenic Visitor $1,224: Average Visitor $1,356: Scenic Visitor Not only did scenic drive visitors do more on their trip, they stayed longer. This additional length of trip resulted in slightly higher trip spending.
75 Visitor Demographics Age Age Age 55+ Married Kids in HH High School or Some College College Grad or Higher Income Under $50K Income $50K- $100K Income Over $100K Scenic Visitors All 2017 Visitors 35% 35% 30% 55% 23% 27% 74% 34% 38% 30% 42% 30% 28% 54% 25% 30% 70% 29% 37% 34% Visitors who take scenic drives are more often older and better educated. However, with lower incomes than the overall Colorado visitor, it is possibly a reflection of more scenic drive visitors being retired than in the past. There was a significant increase in younger visitors to Colorado in 2017, resulting in fewer visitors motivated by scenic drives.
76 The Colorado Field Guide Collection of 3- to 7-day itineraries to drive visitors to far-off places, often dispersing them to alternatives to over-loved areas Created in partnership with DMO partners and local businesses Each incorporates an opportunity to give back to the area visited (e.g., trail repair days), with special help from friend of the guide, Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado Each day of the itinerary includes: 3 activities 3 places to eat 1 place to stay Insider tips for making the most of the destination (e.g., Visiting on Saturday? There s a farmers market on Main Street) A visitor can sort trips by several parameters: Season Length Region Included cities Activities featured We re up to 84 trips with more in the works. A few of most popular include: Historic Hot Springs Loop Spirit of the Southwest All About Wildflowers San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway Follow the Top Chef Season 15 Food Map
77 A Peek at the Experience: Day 1 On The Historic Hot Springs Loop
78 More Storytelling We re creating several videos to bring the itineraries to life for visitors. This one showcases the Steam, Sand, Spaceships & Hot Springs trek through Colorado s San Luis Valley.
79 Results 245,000 views Apr 1 Aug 1 Get itineraries call to action on digital banners generated a.45% engagement rate; benchmark is.07% Get itineraries had best engagement of all five options offered on the summer campaign landing page. Colorado Field Guide posts on Visit Colorado Facebook page generated a 10.26% engagement rate, compared with 5.15% on average. 7.45% clicked through to an itinerary. 62% of fans are out of state.
80 Grant From the State Historical Fund The CTO was just awarded a $141,000 grant to develop a Colorado Scenic & Historic Byways microsite to generate greater awareness and drive visitation to the historic and cultural experiences along the state's 26 designated byways. Included elements: Articles Videos Photos Itineraries Interactive maps
