The Sedona Tourism Advisory Board (TAB) meeting on August 6, 2025, highlighted significant advancements in promoting Sedona as a premier tourist destination. A key announcement was the introduction of a new official bridal planner, also known as the Sedona visitor guide. This guide, which was printed in early July, is designed to be digital-forward, featuring a flipbook version available on Scenic Sedona and a PDF format for easy access. The guide has been distributed to various locations, including the Uptown Visitor Center and the Red Rock Ranger District visitor center, with plans to expand its reach to Flagstaff.
The guide's development was a collaborative effort by the in-house team, showcasing local talent in graphic design and editorial content. This initiative reflects the board's commitment to enhancing visitor experiences and promoting local businesses.
Additionally, the board introduced a social media toolkit aimed at local businesses. This toolkit provides resources and ready-made posts to help businesses effectively participate in tourism campaigns, even if they lack social media expertise. This strategy not only supports local enterprises but also ensures a consistent and unified presentation of Sedona's brand to potential visitors.
As the board transitions into fiscal year 2026, these initiatives are expected to strengthen Sedona's tourism sector, fostering community engagement and enhancing the overall visitor experience. The TAB's focus on collaboration and resource-sharing underscores its dedication to promoting Sedona as a vibrant and attractive destination.
