Pitkin County’s traveler affidavit program appears to be getting a mixed reaction through a spate of recent vacation cancellations and national exposure that the Aspen area is a safe place to visit.

It also has local decision-makers considering putting on their best PR face for the program by emphasizing its benefits.
