In 2016, the town marked its 50th anniversary of incorporation. It has around 5,000 permanent residents, 8,500 part-time residents, and accommodates up to 35,000 daily visitors during peak seasons. The local economy is primarily dependent on tourism, with more than 2.8 million visitors each year.

Proposals for the leadership development program must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. MST on June 10, 2024. They can be sent to the Town of Vail Human Resources Department by mail, fax, email, or in person. This is an opportunity for training professionals to impact a top tourist destination.
