We're thrilled to announce that Phoenix is the host of U.S. Travel Association's ESTO at the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa in 2025! The 40th annual ESTO conference wrapped up last week in Columbus, and we're feeling incredibly energized from all we took away from the keynotes, sessions and networking. Our President and CEO Ron Price, CDME and the CEO of the Arizona Office of Tourism, Lisa Urias had the chance to reveal the big news to the thousands in attendance! ESTO isn’t just a conference; it’s where ideas come to life, partnerships are forged, and the next big trends in tourism are born. And where better to spark that inspiration than Phoenix? Phoenix isn’t just a city; it’s the epicenter of relevance.

Last week, our Visit Phoenix team came together for an unforgettable All-Staff Retreat at the stunning Scottsdale Resort at McCormick Ranch. This wasn't just a break from our routine; it was a celebration of our shared passion and commitment to bringing the world to Phoenix's doorstep. This retreat was a testament to our unity and dedication, a chance to recharge and refocus on our collective mission. The day was filled with transformative experiences, starting with a masterclass in storytelling and team building led by the renowned Park Howell, author of Brand Bewitchery and The Narrative Gym for Business. Park's introduction to the ABT (And, But, Therefore) framework for storytelling sparked fresh insights, enhancing our ability to connect with audiences on a deeper level. We took immense joy in assembling bikes for Child Crisis Arizona, an organization that provides vital support for children and families in crisis. Knowing our efforts would bring joy and relief to those in need added profound meaning to our day. We also celebrated the exceptional contributions of our team members with the 2024 Culture Awards: Rookie of the Year: Maureen Cox Linchpin of the Year: Jewel Clark and Johanna Gomez Culture Champion: Megan Tully Each of these individuals embodies the spirit and dedication that make Visit Phoenix an extraordinary place to work. The day concluded with a mesmerizing performance by legendary hoop dancer Tony Duncan. His artistry and the cultural significance of hoop dancing, rooted in the Indigenous traditions of the Phoenix area, reminded us of the rich heritage we represent and the power of storytelling through dance. From engaging workshops to heartfelt community service and cultural celebrations, our retreat was a powerful reminder of our team's strength and the impact we can achieve together.
