Our Members Speak Out

“Reservations are super this year! People are booking early – a welcome change from the last two summers. Our June and July reservations are really solid; we could see this in early April.  Why are they booking early? No idea!  What’s great is that our area looks good – and green – again. I would never say the drought is over (one year doesn’t mark the end of a drought.), but this year we got a break.  Travel in our area moves in long slow cycles; I hope the bottom was last year and we are headed up again.  Certainly getting here is no easier than in the past – maybe tougher! United is a primary carrier into Durango and Cortez, and they price it dearly. Now gas prices are up. So the barriers have not disappeared. I’m clueless about where our success comes from, but I love it!” Susan Scott, Sundance Bear Lodge. Mancos CO

“Unlike some previous years, as of May 1, 2005, we had reservations throughout May, June, into July and August. I attribute this to years of being willing to pay for advertising (in the early years more than half of my gross revenue), learning how to make my website more visible, and targeting my freebies better. I post events in my town, including what is playing at the drive-in, on my website. I also have diversified my guest clientele over the years to include rail-trail, by linking to the WV Rails-to-Trails Council; overnight stabling with a link to the WV Horse Council; and motorcycles, with a link to a motorcycle event; plus travelers and business people. I also work closely with the local Welcome Centers, Tourism Division, and CVB. We are known as a great place to stay.”
