The Chamber and Tourism Bureau of Clear Creek County is the leading nonprofit (501c6), membership-driven business organization dedicated to creating a climate in which business can succeed by working to constantly improve the economic well being and quality of life in Clear Creek County.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of the Chamber and Tourism Bureau of Clear Creek County (CTB) is to improve the economic climate within Clear Creek County.
This organization will continue to serve as the county's Lodging Tax Panel and will work to increase the number of visits to Clear Creek County, and to provide information and direction to visitors in the county.
In addition, the organization will facilitate business interaction and disseminate information relating to commercial, industrial, and civic interests to stimulate business within the area.
VISION:
The Chamber and Tourism Bureau of Clear Creek County is recognized and respected by the business community and governmental entities as an effective advocate for reasonable development to improve the economy of Clear Creek County.
As the facilitator of action, we have produced notable examples of collaboration between the business community and other entities and have made strides toward a thorough understanding of the significance of a healthy business community to the future of our area.
Our programs have brought about consistent year over year growth in visitor numbers, sales and lodging tax revenues, and membership in the organization. As a result of our impact, there are a significant number of new businesses and properties under development in the county. We have funded these efforts through a pro-active search for additional sustainable revenue streams including special event production, increased emphasis on co-operative advertising programs, and federal and state grants.
VALUES:
Integrity - Our ethical beliefs will guide our actions and success
Stewardship - We will find a balance between promotion and protection of those attributes of Clear Creek County that attracted us and support our quality of life.
Collaboration - We will proactively engage others in education, communication and action to resolve disagreements and create win/win solutions
Service - We are dedicated to excellence and strive to exceed the expectations of our business community, visitors, and stakeholders
Objectivity - We respect and hear other's points of view and adopt the best course of action for the widest circle of constituents
