Join us October 4 for an engaging presentation, delicious local cuisine, and networking with Tucson’s community leaders who are passionate about Tucson's sustainable growth journey.
Tourism is a significant economic cornerstone of our community, where the needs and wants of residents and visitors intersect and support Tucson’s long-term quality of life and economic prosperity.
Visit Tucson’s tourism marketing and destination stewardship efforts not only attract visitors who spend $2.7 billion in Tucson annually, but also create a significant positive boost to the region’s image for economic development - as a place where people want to live, work, buy a second home, retire, start a business, or go to college.
Tucson: Live, Work, Play is a community event showcasing the dynamic interplay between tourism, economic growth, and community development and how partners are working together to welcome the world to Tucson to strengthen our vibrant community.
​A great place to live is a great place to visit.
