“The previous law required counties to spend all of that revenue on marketing and promotion of tourism activities within the county. But the new bill, signed by the governor several weeks ago, will allow counties to use up to 90 percent of the revenue they collect from people staying in town to fund things that will help both workers and visitors alike.

‘It can go to things like workforce housing or childcare or other infrastructure needs that those communities need in order to handle the visitors that are coming,’ said Rep. Dylan Roberts (D-Vail), one of the primary sponsors of the bill.”
