Tourism and the impacts to our industry are front-and-center in many news stories about COVID-19, as we’re facing substantial challenges now and will into the foreseeable future. The Arizona Office of Tourism will continue to promote facts over fear regarding COVID-19 and we are working alongside industry, state and national partners to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Our primary message is that we are here to provide ongoing support to Arizona's hospitality workforce and tourism industry. Thank you for sharing the challenges you're all facing, this information is being used to guide Governor Ducey's plan to re-energize Arizona's economy, which includes help for tourism organizations and businesses. Also, thank you for adhering to Arizona’s “Stay home, Stay healthy, Stay connected” order. This effort is working and is setting the stage for us to start welcoming visitors again as soon and safely possible.

We recommend visiting the CDC and the Arizona Department of Health Services for the latest on the virus and visiting the U.S. State Department advisory page prior to any travel.
