Green Tucson

Tucson isn't green just because it's in the lushest desert in the world. Residents and businesses have woven sustainable practices into our everyday lives to preserve this place of unparalleled natural beauty for generations to come. These efforts are evidenced by the clean air; a variety of farmer's markets offering local foods; hundreds of miles of bike paths; and smart water usage like xeriscaping. But there's more to this Southern Arizona city than meets the typical traveler's eye. A recent Deloitte survey found that nearly half of all travelers try to be "environmentally friendly" when they're traveling.

Voluntourism

The Tucson and Southern Arizona region offers fun and rewarding projects for the growing segment of travelers who practice "voluntourism," which mixes volunteer service with vacation time. Travelers favoring short-term adventures that "give back" will find local organizations and projects that are a natural fit for those seeking to contribute to sustainable natural attractions, work with like-minded people and enjoy the great Arizona outdoors.

For business travelers or conventioneers looking to get into the "business of giving back", Tucson CVB's Convention Services can match groups with a Tucson-based or national non-profit organization that will benefit from time and/or financial donations.
