Gain a Profit Center-Tucson Visitor Center
Our knowledgable staff and volunteers provide visitor information seven days a week to nearly 70,000 yearly visitors. Optional benefits include brochure distribution and backlit display ads.

Referral Service
The MTCVB will refer your business to meeting and event planners, tour operators, visitors, residents of Tucson, and many more.  Your business will be on a list of partners exclusively recommended by the MTCVB staff in response to all inquiries.

Borrow Our Tools
Partners of the MTCVB have extensive reference and marketing tools at their disposal to promote their business.  No matter what type of business you operate, the MTCVB has print and online advertising resources available, including the official Tucson web site, www.visitTucson.org, and the biannual Visit Tucson: Official Destination Guide.

Net More Business
www.visitTucson.org received 3 million unique visitors last year!  Our web site provides the visitor with all the information necessary to plan a wonderful vacation to Tucson and Southern Arizona.  Meeting planners, tour operators, partners, and media will find visitTucson.org very useful for their needs as well.

All partners receive an enhanced 100-word listing on the MTCVB web site.  We list your special events on our web-based calendar of events.  You may also participate in online package offerings and seasonal online promotions.

Get More Exposure
Tucson Official Destination Guide
Our biannual publication, Visit Tucson: Official Destination Guide, is our main fulfillment piece.  Every potential visitor that makes an inquiry receives an Official Destination Guide.  It includes partner listings, partner display advertising, calendar of events and area maps.  The annual circulation is 300,000 copies.

 Professional Planners Edition
The Professional Planners Edition of the Visit Tucson: Official Destination Guide is a great opportunity for our Suppliers & Services or Convention Services partners to gain additional exposure to meeting and event planners.  These partners have the option to purchase advertising in this piece.  The Professional Planners Edition is printed annually and distributed to qualified meeting planners looking to hold their event in Tucson. The circulation is 10,000 copies.
