Location - Tuscon
Tucson, Arizona, located 62 (100km.) miles from the Mexican border, in the Sonoran high desert, is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in North America. The metropolitan area, with a population of over one million, is the second largest in Arizona. The high Sonoran desert locale, with mountains on three sides, provides spectacular mild winters and hot summers. Tucson's attractions include the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, the San Xavier Mission, a wide variety of restaurants, a symphony, opera, chamber music series, a minor league baseball team and spring training for the major leagues, as well as excellent golf, tennis, hiking, cycling, fishing and other attractions. The unique beauty of the setting, along with its rich history and cultural diversity through its Native American, Mexican and Spanish forebears, have made Tucson a major "destination resort" particularly for winter visitors, as well as a near-ideal setting for research and graduate level study of NAFTA and other aspects of Western Hemisphere global trade and commerce.
