A green desert city? That\u2019s not a mirage in Scottsdale,<\/a><\/strong> where bold environmental initiatives show how the city is leading the way.\u00a0 Natural sustainability challenges come with being a desert city, and Scottsdale has been tackling them head on. Click here<\/strong><\/a> to learn more about Scottsdale’s commitment to sustainability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n With at least 25 national parks, monuments, and recreation areas within a 500-mile radius of Phoenix\/Scottsdale and an airport with flights from most major cities, Arizona offers many opportunities for student groups. In addition to the National Parks, students can experience indigenous culture on American Tribal Lands and learn about their rich history. \u00a0<\/p>\n As you consider attending the SYTA Summit 2025, please visit the Summit 2025 website and schedule often as the Summit Volunteer Committee is actively building an event that will surprise and delight you – both personally and professionally. We look forward to seeing you in January. \u00a0<\/p>\n “Arizona is an amazing stop for my student tour groups. Phoenix is a great starting point with its major airport. Some wonderful bus companies out of Phoenix. It is an easy drive to Sedona with its famous off road Pink Jeep tour as a highlight & a quaint town to have lunch and browse. The amazing Grand Canyon (South Rim) is an easy 2 hour drive from Sedona. Culture & natural beauty – Arizona has it all.”\u00a0<\/em>WHY ARIZONA FOR STUDENT TRAVEL?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
