In this video:

  • How Visit Tucson fuses meetings and events with leisure travel: Group attendees are also leisure travelers who’re looking to take away something unique from their experience. How does culture, wellness, and gastronomy come together to bridge this gap?
  • Leveraging Tucson’s proximity to Mexico to create unique experiences: Enriching experiences for attendees means integrating local culture into meetings and events. How does Visit Tucson achieve this and why is it so important?
  • An overview of Tucson’s wellness heritage: Integrating moments of mindfulness and renewal is critical in the new normal, and is something Visit Tucson has done consistently in the past.
  • The role of gastronomy in programming: Food can make or break an event. What is Visit Tucson’s approach and how do cultural and environmental factors feed in to this?
