 Tourism is another major industry in Tucson, which has many resorts, hotels, and attractions. A reckonable economic force is middle-class and upper-class Sonorans, who travel to Tucson to purchase goods that are not readily available in Mexico. In addition to vacationers, a significant number of winter residents, or "snowbirds", are attracted by Tucson's mild winters and contribute to the local economy.(Information provided by Wikipedia .)
If you are looking at visiting, Tucson certainly offers the best to its visitors.

City and County Remind Residents To Remove Mosquito-Breeding Opportunities |
City, County Remind Residents To Remove Mosquito-Breeding Opportunities
The West Nile Virus is responsible for one fatality in Arizona in 2008, as an elderly woman in Maricopa County passed away after becoming ill from the disease. This is the second death attributed to West Nile Virus this calendar year.
At this time, there are no WNV-positive human cases in Pima County and area governmental organizations want residents to continue all preventive measures to reduce mosquito breeding sites.
“Our summer storms have already been frequent this year,” said Dr. Michelle McDonald, Chief Medical Officer for the Pima County Health Department. “Confirmed cases of West Nile virus have been identified in some mosquitoes, dead birds, and sentinel chickens around Arizona, so we know the threat is here. However, with knowledge and precautions, residents can vastly reduce their chances of contracting the disease.”
The following resources can help Pima County residents remain safe throughout the mosquito season, which will last well into the fall.
Basic Information:
Not all mosquitoes are carriers of the West Nile virus. However, the more mosquitoes there are, the greater the chances that one may transmit the disease. |
