Posted by John in Why do people come to Arizona? Many people believe that they come for activities like spring training games, relaxing poolside at a resort, or to play golf. However, studies have shown that bird watching has a greater economic impact, and more people come to Arizona, for bird watching than golf and other major tourist activities.
From tiny hummingbirds to giant condors, Arizona is home to over 500 species of birds. According to the
Audubon society, Arizona has 30 of the top bird habits in the country. More than 350,000 people come to Arizona each year for bird watching and it’s estimated that they have a $1 billion dollar economic impact in the state.
