Smart Meetings

The city's geography is a postcard image of cactus forests, rolling hills and awe-inspiring mountains.

Tucson lies in the borderland, a region that blends the cultures of the United States and Mexico, and has a long history of settlement by ancient Native American peoples, Spanish explorers and Anglo frontiersmen.

The weather is mild nearly all the time, just right for all kinds of fun activities.

We think you'll agree, whether you're a new visitor or resident, just passing through, or a longtime resident rediscovering hometown treasures, that Tucson is Real. Natural. Arizona.

Everyone loves Tucson's mild climate, spectacular scenery, challenging high-desert golf, scrumptious dining and exciting world-famous attractions. Plus, Tucson boasts resorts and hotels at all price levels and you get more for your money with meeting spaces like the expensive destinations at a fraction of the cost. With 14 different airlines offering non-stop service to 29 destinations and connections to more than 125 cities, we're easy to get to.
