Testimonials

Meeting Planners from across the United States share their Tucson meeting experiences.

"Tucson offers many unique, interesting, yet affordable venues for almost any size business meeting."
- Robert J. Donovan, American Hospital Association

"We use Tucson for two good reasons -- it's a reliable site for warm weather in the winter; and it's authentically Arizona and the great Southwest, not just another metropolitan maze."
- Ray Carlsen, Inland Press Association

"We choose Tucson for our meeting because the community offers so much, the hotels are first rate and the price of meeting there is so reasonable."
- Nelson Fabian, National Environmental Health Assoc.
 
"Tucson is the real Arizona, the real west! Yet the resorts are world class and the service and food are in a class of its own. Our groups have always been extremely pleased with our programs in Tucson and have asked to return."
- Rick Eisenman, Eisenman & Associates, Inc.

"Tucson offers the ideal balance of an authentic southwest experience and sincere hospitality. The desert landscape is lush and the resorts are world class." 
- Richard Miseyko, Site Search, Inc.

"Tucson's embracing warmth gives permission to relax and be re-energized; accentuating positive success to all meetings and events."
- LoriAnn Harnish, Speaking of Meetings

"When I think of our meetings in Tucson, my mind goes immediately to a barbecue held on a perfect evening out in the desert with a star-laden sky, a crackling bonfire, a lone cowboy strumming on his guitar with our group humming along and the sense that all is right with the world!"
- Mary C. Boland, American Copper Council
