Aspen, Colorado:
Aspen, Colorado: Today, Erik Cavarra focuses on the most Recent Award to the Town of Aspen, Colorado. Travel + Leisure magazine has released results of their “America’s Favorite Towns” Survey, and Aspen has been ranked the No. 1 small town in the survey.
The new annual survey asked fans and followers to nominate their favorites on social media with the hashtag #TLTowns — and then to vote for the 744 towns in 55 categories, including proudest residents, farmers’ markets, adventure travel, and family-friendly hotels. To determine the overall popularity results, Travel + Leisure calculated each town’s average score.
The results revealed readers’ strong love for Aspen, which scored high for many categories such as its attractive locals, beer scene and Victorian-era Main Street. As well as coming in at number one for America’s Favorite Town, Aspen also received the number one winning spot for best town square, number two spot in the survey’s attractive people category, number three ranking for intelligence and number three ranked Main Street.
“A lot goes into making Aspen great,” Aspen Mayor Steve Skadron said in a prepared statement. “We work to keep our historic downtown quaint and vibrant, our mountain streams pristine, and our pace laid-back and old west. But all that aside, it’s special here because we’re a community of locals with small town values, a touch of culture and high expectations.”
Travel + Leisure magazine is designed for the sophisticated, well-traveled person who has a strong interest in leisure activities.
