There is enough tourists to support a rental car facility and improved airport. The issue is about time and costs.
expanding service to grand junction from Salt Lake City would be dumb. It’s still faster to just drive from SLC than to go to GJT then rent a car. 1 hr security, hf flight, hr to get car, 90 min drive vs 3.5 hr drive from SLC
you also have montrose and durango. Delta serves neither. Southwest serves montrose.
