From the Paper:

"These factors have changed the way America travels. Recent studies suggest that people are now traveling closer to home and are using the family car to travel more than they are using commercial transportation (CTO, 2002). While these trends have been bad for the travel and tourism on a national level, these very habits have made Colorado an even more enticing tourist attraction. Colorado was one of very few states that experienced an increase in marketable travel from 2000-2001. During this period travel in Colorado rose from $6.9 billion in 2000 to $7.0 billion in 2001 (CTO, 2002)."
