In this new blog series I am going to spotlight a different city that we are currently seeing travel needs in. I will list out a few positions that we do have as well as give you some info about the city to help you get to know it better.
Today's spotlight is Tucson, AZ
This city, home to the University of AZ and the second largest city in the state is one of the oldest cities in the United States, starting out as a native American village called Stook-zone meaning "water at the foot of black mountain.
The climate in Tucson varies, expect a bit of desert in the city, as well as some forest land in the nearby Santa Catalina mountains. Tucson stays pretty warm throughout the year, so it is a popular winter vacation destination due to the dry desert air and mild winters.
