The Original Virtual Visitors Bureau

Initially created as a virtual regional visitors bureau, The Teller County Vacation & Visitors Bureau remains the #1 online information resource for Teller County, Colorado on Google, Yahoo, Bing, and other leading online search engines. We’ve remained the online leader for over 12 years.

The Teller County Vacation & Visitors Bureau is a full time marketing organization specifically created to promote Teller County, Colorado, its communities, organizations & local businesses. Driving online traffic, leads, and sales for our member businesses.

After the incredible destruction caused by the Hayman fire in 2002, several local business professionals decided to use their combined business expertise to quietly help our county, community, and local businesses. They created the Teller County Vacation & Visitors Bureau marketing plan to promote the entire Ute Pass region when the whole world thought we had been burned to the ground.

Our founders knew we needed a dynamic way to highlight Teller County’s small businesses, restaurants, retail stores, attractions, outdoor activities, conference centers, youth camps, and so much more to a local and worldwide audience.

How Do We â€"Sell” Teller County, Colorado

Advertising and Promotion


How is the Teller County Vacation & Visitors Bureau Funded

Our founders have been personally funding our marketing programs since 2002. In 2007, we began charging a small annual membership fee for our business members. This was done to generate even more advertising dollars to support an even more aggressive marketing plan.

Our founders and supporters continue to match all membership fees collected dollar for dollar.

By requiring a small membership fee, offset by real member benefits and immediate member savings, we’ve doubled our advertising and marketing budget which generates more business for everyone! Especially during rough economic times.

100% of all membership fees and matching funding is used to purchase radio air time, to produce print materials, to support our outbound marketing programs, and our successful Internet marketing programs. Our staff, several are nationally recognized marketing experts, are ALL unpaid volunteers.

We also sponsor and provide sponsorship services for local activities and events. We provide free and reduced Internet services including websites, website hosting, and free domain names for a variety of local nonprofit organizations.

We hope you will join us as we work to make things happen for our local businesses!
