COVID-19 Information and Resources for Travelers
Based on CDC guidelines, the City of Tucson and Pima County no longer require masks, but recommend them indoors and for people who are unvaccinated. Private businesses can set their own policies. Masks are still required when using public transportation and at Tucson International Airport.
Visit Tucson is committed to providing visitors with accurate information about traveling to our city safely. We are working with the City of Tucson, Pima County, the State of Arizona and local hotels, resorts, and tourism-related businesses to provide updates on how the coronavirus (COVID-19) has impacted travel to Tucson.
Governor Ducey has allowed all Arizona businesses to fully reopen. Not every business is operating at full capacity, so it is important to check with individual businesses to confirm they are open and what steps they’ve taken to ensure cleanliness and safety, if this is a priority for you.
Private events, such as meetings, are allowed and all restrictions have been lifted. You are still encouraged to follow CDC guidelines. More information can be found here.
The Arizona Department of Health Services has provided guidance to a variety of business types including restaurants, malls and pools. For more information click here. For enhanced Pima County guidelines, please click here.
