How Does Aspen Defy Ordinary?

Aspen is a bucket-list destination for meetings, incentives, and events with limitless outdoor adventure, world-class dining, shopping and culture all concentrated within a quaint mining town set against a stunning mountain backdrop. Aspen offers a diverse selection of hotels, ranging from historical to modern and affordable to luxurious; easy access through the Aspen Airport, located only three miles from downtown Aspen; and a forecast of sunshine 300 days a year. Aspen Chamber is the best first point of contact when considering Aspen, Colorado for a meeting, incentive or event. Aspen Chamber partners with clients to source hotels and venues; provides destination resources; organizes and hosts site visits and fam trips; and provides booking incentives and event support for group business. Aspen Chamber Resort Association (ACRA) will offset travel (air and ground transportation) for your group when you source a qualifying program through the Aspen Chamber Resort Association for distribution to our participating Aspen properties. ACRA will complete the offset through The Good Traveler whose platform offers a quick and easy way to make air travel more sustainable. The Good Traveler is a carbon offset program that works to restore the balance by keeping greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere.
