EXPLORING ARIZONA, USA
Arizona
has emerged over recent years as one of most popular western states for business
conferences, relocating and travel. Once known for being a barren hot desert where
the elderly retired, it has now evolved into one of the hottest (figuratively)
states in the country. Not only has Phoenix and surrounding cities become hotbeds
for major national conferences, the state has become a main attraction for professionals
and families alike to relocate lock, stock and barrel.
Centered
in the heart of southwestern culture, Arizona borders California, Nevada and New
Mexico, all of which are only an hour away by plane for any other attraction that
might tickle your fancy. However, Arizona in itself provides enough scenic beauty
with the Grand Canyon and other nature made phenomenon to keep you busy for a
lifetime.

Tucson is "real," "natural"
Arizona. Nestled in the valley of five magnificent mountain
ranges. Tucson is an international travel destination where the
sun shines 350 days a year. A diverse blend of culture, endless
natural beauty and a relaxed lifestyle combine to create a city
that captures the essence of the southwest. www.visitTucson.org |
Historical
Note: In
the first century, a tribe of Indians farmed the region near
Tucson, taking advantage of the natural irrigation of the rivers
that cut through the land. Then, inexplicably, they disappeared,
giving them the name by which they're known today: "Hohokam"
or "The Vanished Ones." |
